The Weather Station
But it is by no means “wireless,” despite the name.

The TechNomad
Steven K. Roberts is a person I might have been. We even look kind of alike. He grew up a nomad; I grew up a bureaucrat….

Tom & Becky, without Suzanne
Tom called home. “Suzanne, I’m running late; stopped to have dinner with Becky and we’re waiting for the bill.” Suzanne apparently didn’t take this well. Becky borrowed the phone, and started to explain: “Hi, Suzanne….” Suzanne hung up on her.
