It’s 10:00 a.m. on a Tuesday, and 51 floors above downtown Chicago, a lawyer and pediatrician couple are settling into a long day of Zoom calls (for themselves, their teenage daughter, and their visiting college-age son)—but with a whole wall of windows overlooking Lake Michigan to get them through it.
