For a Nation of Buttes

WE pulled into Butte, Montana, for lunch.

We’re far enough along in our story for a brief aside: One of the great advantages to working from home is that you don’t have to stay there. So, almost every summer my wife (who also works from home), our daughter, and our dog (a telecommuter of sorts himself) hit the road. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your family and see the “flyover country” we pundits rarely visit save in our rhetoric. Moreover, if you drive cross-country you get to begin articles with sentences such as “We pulled into Butte, Montana, for lunch” (and then you get to write off lunch as a business expense).
