I do suppose there are others, though, who are getting used to the other extreme – the micro-commute from their bedrooms to their literal home office.  I have done that too. But, It’s very challenging to get yourself motivated, and then once motivated, to keep yourself from doing household chores that easily distract you from your work – oh, how those chores flew from that list…

But, these days, I work and live in a New Urbanism community called, New Town, in Saint Charles, MO. Look it up, http://www.newtownatstcharles.com/ . It’s a picturesque community where we eat, work, live, play, etc. – which, by the way, can get monotonous. But, we do know most of our neighbors and our children have the run of the town. It’s very much like living in a small town of yesteryear – or, at least where I grew up, in a neighborhood on the Southwest Side of Chicago.

Of course, we do still drive a fair amount, but now it’s because we want to, not because we have to.  And, the answer to that question, “How does that work, exactly?” Well, mostly I ride my bike.
