I knew it was just a matter of time before writers jumped on
the opossum bandwagon.
It's my sad duty to report that my opossum, Smiley, passed
away a few months ago. She lasted four years, which is pretty
good for one of her kind. But oh do I miss that marsupial.
She's the only one in my house that could stay up as late as
I do. We also had similar taste in movies. We watched (and
enjoyed) THE DRIVER the night before she died. A movie I have
yet to get my girlfriend to sit through.
RIP Smiley.
