Price to pay if you play?

I have heard many times that when you have fun, there's usually a price to be paid. A lesson learned in my twenties when I partied with friends on a work night.... Or when a vacation with the girls to Vegas, emptied my checking account...completely! But for 10 years now, I have been paying some dues. As far as I see it, I have paid up my dues in advance. It's time for me to play it up! I know that there will be loads of stuff waiting for me when I return... but I'll happy get through the piles, with some new found energy I hope!
