Rose,
English is my second language and I still learn new words. Possum I had heard or read in passing, without ever wanting to actually find out what it was. I figured some little animal, like a racoon. Now I looked it up in my reference book and it says about possum: "Play possum: pretend to be dead or asleep to deceive an opponent."
He had a great sence of humor, Dick. I miss him.
