. . . what have you done with my name? . . .

{no idea how long this link will last}

. . . when george albert smith

{eighth president of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints}

was young,

his deceased grandfather,

george a. smith,

appeared to him in a dream and asked,

"i would like to know

what you have done

with my name."

president smith responded,

"i have never done anything

with your name

of which you need be ashamed" . . .

. . . in the past couple of weeks,

just because of his last name,

my husband has twice been

asked to speak for or about mitt . . .

. . . bill wrote a letter to the editor

of the arizona republic . . .

{he does these kind of things late at night when he can't sleep}

{if you read his letter, please ignore the ridiculous comments that follow!}

. . . he had no idea it'd been published

in today's paper

until he received a phone call

from a channel 15 reporter

this afternoon . . .

. . . who requested an interview . . .

. . . because of bill's name . . .

. . . and i'll tell you what . . .

. . . if mitt ever asks bill the question,

"what have you done with my name?" . . .

. . . bill will honestly be able

to give the same answer

president smith gave ~

"i have never done anything

with your name

of which you need be ashamed" . . .

. . . reporter christopher sign and i

immediately bonded

because he loved my flowers . . .

. . . because of budget cuts,

he serves as both

photographer and reporter . . .

{trivia #1: he was the reporter who,

every day for four months,

covered the baseline killer story}

{trivia #2: bishop sherwood showed up at the same time ~

see his white shirted arm?}

. . . bill answered questions

for about twenty minutes . . .

. . . a short version of this story

will air tonight at ten . . .

. . . with the full version airing

tomorrow at five, six, and/or ten

depending on the news events

of the day . . .
