According to wikipedia, “The term chimera has come to describe any mythical or fictional animal with parts taken from various animals.” Which explains why it has been appropriated in genetics where it relates to the phenomenon of different creatures sharing T-cells.
Anyway, I have a brother who studies chimerism and its potential application for organ-transplant retention. I may not have this quite right, but I think if you could have enough of the cells of an organ donor in you when you get a transplant, you wouldn’t need to take antirejection drugs.
I had been trying to explain this to people when I decided to go out for a walk in Fort Point Channel. Eerily, this sign greeted me.
I think it’s an eclectic gift shop or interior decorator business.
Other signs and portents on the same walk related to Suzanne and Erik’s Year of the Dragon baby.
Who is the dragon artist? I need to know more.




I’d love the blue dragon for our backyard!
It sits over the Blue Dragon restaurant. @fortpointarts sent a tweet to @chefmingtsai to find out who the sculptor is. But in case you’re looking for a dragon, Google says there are a lot of dragon sculptors out there.
My brother’s baby is also a dragon baby 🙂
Your brother has a baby! I think I have some catching up to do!
