[QUOTE=Groesbeck Hurricane;4743054]Craig,

I am also the type of person who puts in 12 hour days and is up on weekends for work. QUOTE]

Unless you're non-exempt and are paid overtime, you need to seriously consider backing off on those hours. Once you show that you're willing to routinely work extra hours for free, it'll always be expected of you. Over the years, I've seen many over-zealous employees just get chewed up and spit out by companies who take advantage of such "commitment". Don't give away the farm, my friend....after 25 years, you shouldn't have to be putting that much effort into your job. It's no wonder you don't have enough time to get anything else done.

By all means, do negotiate your best deal for salary/vacation/benefits up front. Once you accept the terms of employment, it'll be nearly impossible to change things later on.
