What are your thoughts on work/life balance in the computing industry? On growing older in our industry?

A big problem with the general industry is the lack of subsidized "sabbatical years" -- these are a good way to recharge and re-orient. Xerox, amazingly, used to have them for employees. But I haven't heard of any such thing recently.
If you think about life as needing "renewables" then you shouldn't allow yourself to be "stripmined" (easier said than done).
