You Cant Miss It And Other Direction Narratives
A humorous riff on how people give and receive directions. It contrasts blunt phrases like One Size Fits ALL and You cant miss it with long foldout maps and lists of emergency numbers guiding readers to someone’s house. The piece cites Mister Rogers and a Koan of misdirected routes. It lampoons varied styles from overlong guidance to radio skits about getting home.

Harpsichord Builders in Long Beach Family Duo Create Instruments
Mary Hershey and her father William Gibson of Laguna Beach build harpsichords at home after discovering a kit in a Saturday Review. They researched woods, tested Sitka spruce substitutions, and crafted six to seven instruments over months, selling the first and continuing with new models. Mary notes mass production in Germany, a preference for authentic tone over amplified modern variants, and that harpsichord making blends carpentry with decoupage decoration.
