a case of mistaken identity

The email from my friend Bean arrived with the subject line "sorry for your loss." The message had a link to a news story that said the house I was going to buy when I win the lottery had burned down. You would recognize my future mansion from the 1960s "Batman" tv series or maybe from the Kenneth Branagh film "Dead Again." But according to KNBC-TV it wasn't the same house after all! Somebody named Paul McCartney owns the house where I hope to live when I retire in Gotham City. By the way, while looking for photos of Stately Wayne Manor, I found a fun site called The Bat Pages.
