- I was living on the north-west corner of Stinson and Santa Fe at this time, in a three-story house
which had been converted into a series of apartments. I lived on the second floor. The
stairway faced Santa Fe. One night, when I came home late, there was a possum in the
weeds next to the stairs.
We startled each other.
A word about that lion: It's somewhat inspired by the creature used to represent the
Apostle John. It is not the sphinx or a gryphon.
