I know, that’s absolutely sick, but it totally is.

Since I’m allowing myself the role of translator for those of you that learn your vocabularies from Webster rather than my preference, Craig, let me lead you to the definition of Glory Hole.

Anyway, I just loved this article about “foundling wheels,” AKA the baby hatch, in the New York Times today. It is with much certainty that I can say that this imagery will worm itself into a future painting.

But seriously, awwww…
“Many common family names in Italy can be traced to a foundling past: Esposito (because children were sometimes “exposed” on the steps of a convent), Proietti (from the Latin proicio, to throw away) or Innocenti (as in innocent of their father’s sin).”

Why’d they gotta name the kid Francesco Little Throwaway? Sadness Prevails!
