Playing possum. This little fellow was wandering outside our rehearsal space last night. Alyssa named him “Pepper” — as in “Pepper Possum.” Apparently, there is some rule in the world of children’s book publishing that demands alliteration in the naming of cute animals.

No, we didn’t keep him. He could’ve been rabid. Or just confused. After all, he and his kin are nocturnal and there was plenty of daylight left.

    Rachel, actually.

    I forget how young she is until she goes all googly over a baby possum.

    Yes, sadly i cannot take credit for Pepper. Though i did say it had to start with a p. I believe my suggestion was Petey, after my childhood hamster pet.
