Isn't “Grace” a nice name for a radio? I got a Grave Wireless Internet Radio a month ago and appreciate it more everyday. It is a small table top radio and looks like tube radios of old. It has a small LED screen that glows blue, especially in the low light of the evening. For its tiny size, the sound is great and, best of all, it is easy to operate. Grace, as I refer it it, receives 5000 stations from around the world via the Internet service we are so lucky to have here in little San Miguel de Allende. I can search for stations by location, genre, or call letters. Happily, I do not feel obsessive about checking out 5000 stations even though I live a lite schedule. I have 5 presets including WBUR NPR in Boston, VPR, a wonderful folk station that somehow plays only songs I like, the Australian Broadcasting System's excellent “Classical Music for Blokes” station, and “Troubadour” that plays soft mood music from around the world. I have Grace on as I putter during the day and enjoy it beyond my expectation demonstrating once again that life's real satisfactions are mysterious and simple.
