I gave up way too much of my free time over about a two year period, doing software work on a couple of small venture projects. Before long, the hours got to me, especially spending the short summers indoors, in front of the blue glow of a computer screen. That finally paid off, and I got a very nice road bike as a reward for my efforts - I took it home Sunday evening. A fun "toy" that can only be used outdoors, is poetic justice for all the long nights wasted working.

You should reward yourself.
