After 7 years of hard work ANYBODY needs a sabbatical, but I think your hobbies provide you with micro-sabbaticals. Your hobbies such as the prison ministry, building furniture, bicycling, and cooking take you away, though briefly, to a parallel universe where you exercise other parts of your personna. Faced with a different context your creativity quickly starts flowing - goes to show you are not tapped out but need a new means or process. I am sure at this point you can build sites in your sleep, but its your micro-sabbaticals that keep you fresh even when you say otherwise. BTW, reading your recipes is not half as fun as tasting them. I love the fringe benefits here...
