I spent my weekend all alone in my kitchen starting at the floor tiles, contemplating the sheer vacuity and emptiness of my existence and trying to figure out what the hell to do with the rest of my life and how to find a way to make myself actually useful to humanity..."

(Something along those general lines.) He was making a joke, of course, but then again . . . .

I think the end of Letterman was when he had to shut down his upstairs p^$$^ palace. Without that, why bother going to work?
