Desperately Seeking a Signal


When we go to Switzerland, we stay in my grandmother's village. It is tiny. Think of one of those old Ricola commercials, and you have a pretty good idea. There is no wi-fi, no internet cafe. My technology-addicted husband was getting a bit antsy trying to get online during our trip. At one point, he asked me if he thought anyone would notice if he walked around the village, holding his iPhone aloft, trying to get a signal.

Imagine his relief when he discovered that by sitting in one corner of the balcony, at certain times during the day, he could get a signal. What a relief! I must say I was pretty delighted to check my email as well!
