Thomas gets baptised

On a warm day in June, a group of Americans and Romans descended upon the stately Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome in order to make a proper Christian of young Thomas Alessandro. His days of debauchery, incredulity and disbelief had run out. This change didn't come a moment too soon, since in the past year he often drank until he vomited, then passed out only to wake up with his little trousers filled with his own filth, all the while babbling incoherently to anyone who would listen. I'm not saying that he's perfect now; he still wakes up in his own filth and babbles, for instance. But his drinking problem is behind him now and it seems like he's doing a little bit better every day.
We love you, Bubba!
