(1) The kid's in college, so that takes care of that side of it. Ms. M8 and I both travel, so we focus an having at least one "super-date" every quarter. This is usually an extra long weekend to a fun destination, US/International.
(2) I'm not sure what you mean by "burned out". You just have to make the mental adjustment that you are now a "traveller" and learn how to make a lifestyle for yourself that keeps you interested in what you are doing, or plan diversions while you are on location.
(3) Simple. Don't entertain clients. I find it unecessary for business development. In fact for my business, I think too much socializing would actually damage my business relationships. There are many who have succeeded in business without having to take up golf
