I'm an Xbox LIVE developer, and my workplace is a good source of board game playing friends. I enjoy cooking as well, so I often put together dinner and game nights. Recently, I've been playing a lot of shorter games, but I'd like to get some longer games back into rotation. I've been introducing a lot of friends to gaming, and shorter games are generally much more accessible.

P.S. I'm somewhat obsessive about logging the games I've played on BGG. I find the statistics very helpful, so I feel I should do my part.
