    It's like a new character has been added to the cast of our favorite TV show. A new storyline to follow and none of this is on Netflix.

    Love him! I think he has 4-5 apartments tree holes. Should his name be Croman?

    To 11:43 am -- I think the opossum is closer to Avenue B between 7th and 8th

    its really crowded around here, but I hope Nicodemus brings a few opossum friends to the neighborhood anyway. Way more interesting than the self(ie)-obsessed brats by which we've been swarmed.
