Davey calls me his "Wild Imaginary Brother", for what that is worth.
Anyway, what you really need to know first of all is that, as the world is always reminding me, my legs are only about as long as your Bermuda shorts.
I am differently proportioned for sure, but it goes deeper than that: I have a metabolic rate over which I have some limited control and which has been medically observed as it dropped to reptilian lows ....into the deep sixties.... without "measurable brain damage". Well, measure smeasure, this metabolic mystery has fascinated doctors since my early days with the Warren family in Ithaca - especially after Oliver Sacks's article about me in the New Yorker. It is not someting I learned or can control well. It is only what is natural to me, which makes me as ignorant on the subject as a fish on water. What's more, I seem to be loosing it.
