I was already running a little behind this morning, and a little plumbing
problem set me even further back. According to our friendly neighborhood
plumber, the pipe to the radiator in our second-floor bathroom, which had
apparently been rusting for years, finally failed, causing a (thankfully minor)
flood in the basement. Turns out this is sort of good news that this finally
came to a head, as he says this was impeding the heat on the second floor as
well as my office above, so having the pipe repaired may well help us keep our
house warmer.

Is it a problem for you to stay up past the time your spouse goes to bed to play HL2?
Of course, we don't have kids so this frees up quite a bit more time to do stuff
Another thing I did, was to get my spouse excited about HalfLife herself.
This is usually about the only time I do play. I'm usually up at 5:30 in the morning and don't get home from work until 5 or 5:30. We have a 21-month-old son, so evenings are pretty much taken up with dinner, taking him and the dog for a walk, and getting him to bed after playing for a while. He usually doesn't go down to 9:30 or so. Doesn't leave much time. Sometimes I play a bit when she's giving him a bath.
My wife doesn't like computer games. Just doesn't like them. She's pretty anti-violence and anti-gun (she's a Kinder teacher and doesn't like the effects of some real-life stuff like this on kids, as well as had a cousin die in a gun accident when she was young). I've tried things like NFS and others as well to no avail.
Edit - I've also been trying to complete several outside projects around the house before Christmas (laying paving tiles, making a planter/garden area, leveling some ground behind the garage to build a small shed) and spent last weekend cleaning out the garage. I worked a 14-hour day yesterday. I'm also trying to design a house floorplan for us if we decide to build a house in the next couple years (using one of those floorplan software programs).
