By Zack Quaintance — I remember when the scope of the coronavirus crisis first started coming into focus, someone in the media whom I respect (although not enough to remember their name, apparently), warned that American life was going to change for the foreseeable future. I didn’t really understand what that meant, not really. See, I already work from home. My wife and I do things on the weekend and in the evenings, just like anybody. We see movies, go to dinner with friends, take in sites, go on weekend trips. The list goes on, but none of these things have ever felt all that essential to me.
