On the morning of Nov. 13, I had the choice of sleeping in another hour, because I was still on West Coast time, or getting dressed and going to Pete’s Diner in Washington, D.C.
I decided to get up and get dressed.
Around 7:50 a.m., I was faced with another choice. Only this one required more than just willpower. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had just walked in and ordered his breakfast. I was faced with a choice. To speak or not to speak?
