It wasn't a secret that I was gay. I'd come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car.
I've worked for four presidents and watched two others up close, and I know that there's no such thing as a routine day in the Oval Office.
Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
