Round Two: The great remote work debate

As I write this column, dusk is rapidly giving way to darkness on a crisp, overcast mid-October night. When the weather is nice, I can glance up from my laptop and see a parade of people walking their dogs past our house; today, however, the chilly air and descending darkness has most in our neighborhood hunkered down in their homes.

A candle flickers in the ceramic jack-o’-lantern that stares out the window in front of me, a large globe sitting on my desk to its left and my cup of coffee to its right. There’s no noise except for the gentle whirring of the ceiling fan and the occasional car driving down our little side street.
