as my responsibilities move farther away from what i'm passionate about (and i was good at) it gets tougher to make the argument that i need to change focus back to (those things) because i'm no long as good at the latest techniques, since my experience has lapsed

this is the real danger about being pushed in directions you don't really want to go. the forces pushing you are also burning the bridges behind you as you move

unless, of course, you have the ability to sacrifice your (probably narrowing) 'free' personal time to try and desperately maintain your skills in (the stuff you love) in order to remain relevant

oh one more reply - sorry, Missile Command was a video game from before you were born. it involved having to predict where a projectile was moving and launching countermeasures toward it.
