"new york times" piece out today saying he was out of state for things like when the big dig roof collapsed, killing the 38-year-old woman, when the state legislature came to its own deal on his proposal to overhaul the state health care system, he was out of town for that as well. how is the governor explaining these absences? >> this is such a hypocritical piece in the sense that we have a very successful record by governor romney as governor. when you look at his record, he was able to lower the unemployment down to 4.7%. having

the book, house of rain, is craig's latest book. please help me welcome craig childs. . >> hello. i come to you from out of the desert. i'm coming to you from a landscape where once you get an eye for things, 3 grains of sand out of place draw your attention, where everything is brought to bear, where everything is hinged to a story, every drop of rain leaving a dimple in the ground. stories are everywhere out in this landscape. when you walk down into the bottom of the narrow canyons made of sandstone and you put your hands on the sand stone faces and the smooth shallow scallops that look like champagne glasses, you can feel the shape of the last flood that came through. every place in the desert is a story. every place is a passage way. it's really hard to walk very far in the desert for me because there are so many stories that start opening up and lead you from place to place and place and soon you start picking up the patterns of wind, of rain. you pick up the patterns of people who were there before you because, out there, things seem to last forever. if you put a footprint
