Pete, I most definitely hope you do another show like this in the future. I loved it! And, no Kevin, that wasn't because yours truly got mentioned not once...but twice!!!!! 


Great work, podcast team!
Oh, and Pete, I also wanted to add that I know exactly how feel. As a teacher, I have found my passion, but sometimes find myself sucked into it 24 hours a day. With email, parents have access to us constantly. I often find myself responding immediately even when it is night time and I am home. Now that I have an iPhone, I am checking work email even more regularly than I was before. On the weekends, I am always working on something for the kids. It's very difficult to break away when you are passionate about what you do.
However, I have found that you have to force yourself to disconnect sometimes...even if it is just for a day on the weekend or a few hours! It definitely allows you to recharge and refocus. Otherwise, you could start hating what you do or find it as something unpleasurable. Thank goodness I get the summer to recharge. I would never make it through otherwise. It's very exhausting working 50-80 hour weeks. So hugs to you and go get some fresh air!
