Sent to CanDewClub by Central Casting 'and a key player in UnderWoman's small but anatomically correct entourage ... last Spring, BM fell into a tall vase on the back porch of the Sycamores Homestead at Ryder Farm. Upon initial examination, BM's chief complaints were feeling trapped, hungry, afraid and alone. When given food, water, grass (now legal in New York State), playthings and a nap, BM sprang back to life ... showing seemingly increased optimism and intelligence and engaging in inquiry, learning, deep play, innovation, the formation of enduring bonds via sustained gaze ... and other tricks and tools of the trade. Many generations later, BM ... who is currently enshrined at The Brain Observatory in San Diego ... lives on in the genetic coding and upbeat attitude of his offspring ... all of whom have myasthenia gravis and / or other neuro-muscular conditions; most of whom develop cancer; and some of whom develop schizophrenia.
