I agree with this. I work 45-50 hours a week as a production DBA on mostly new versions, but rarely anything truly cutting edge. I then go home and work with new technologies in my four PC lab in the basement from 9:00PM or so until midnight at least three nights week...did I also mention I have a wife and four children?
