Special Request
My mother will be away all of next week, traveling with her mother and sister, my grandmother and aunt, respectively. Call me a wretched son if you wish, I am dearly looking forward to the break. I love her to pieces, but I need a respite from her creeping madness and constant, corrosive worrying.

The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Simon & Garfunkel, "The Only Living Boy in New York" from Bridge Over Troubled Water (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: Entirely unrelated to the song's actual content and significance, I cannot help but think of Jack Kirby's Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth.
