I'm 50, divorced 10 years, put two kids through college, and have become involved with a woman. I suppose I'm gay now. My office is having an off-site at a very nice vacation spot. I've been on “vacations” with my partner in connection with her job and enjoyed them.

Kristin Chenoweth is not “a pie person.”
