5. Today is the Pride parade in Chicago. I may or may not attend. I am not gay.
About 15 years ago the company I worked for co-sponsored a float. Several of our openly gay employees were going to be on the float. The Friday before the Parade (on Sunday) I was asked by one of the gay employees if I would like to join them. I said I would think about it and let them know by the end of the day - without giving a second of thought to if that employee assumed I was gay - or not. Then I thought about it and ruminated about it. I decided not to go on the float. I never spoke with the employee about it after that.
So.... Did the employee assume I was gay when they asked me - and that I am not gay after I said no?

Looks like we have a tight race between Stewart and Christie. If I had to pick 2 without giving it much thought, those would probably be my 2.
My concerns about Stewart....
No political leadership experience (sure, he would hopefully surround himself with good people).
Too emotional (good to care and be passionate but he takes it to another level sometimes in which I feel it may get the best of him).
Jewish (I think there are a lot of people who would HATE on him because of it).
He is very opinionated (see "emotional" - sometimes without a filter, and I feel he would alienate himself and divide people in that regard).


As far as #5, I gave it a LITTLE thought. I think it was probably because they know my relationship with the CEO and that my role in the company is that of being a jack of all trades, and perhaps they felt obligated to ask, and felt I should represent the company, despite what they did and didn't think about my being gay - or not.
