56 here as well. Like yourself, I've been doing this for a long, long time. If it weren't for my personal projects that usually incorporate some pretty wild ideas or technologies, I think I would've given it up years ago.
Today, with a head cold, trying to get caught up on the 400 emails I have because I took yesterday off. The idea of selling ice cream at the beach sounds like a kick-ass career move.
36 and personal/side projects are the only thing that keep my sanity. Hopefully one or some become enough to move on, because I can't work for someone ever again.
