Dirtying Up Soap Operas Just A Bit In The Time Of Covid

May 7th, 2020
Sean Leary

Over the last week, or several, I’ve been home, unable to do much but sit around on the couch and watch TV. In between catching up on the shows I’d TiVo’ed ages ago (“Barry” was excellent, BTW), I stopped by to sample a few minutes of daytime TV shows and soap operas. It’s pretty funny in a goofy way, catching up on the amazing, Dickensian plotlines being brought to life by over-actors on a daily basis. After all, how many other stories do I read that feature the names Bianca, Ridge and Alcazar? Even more entertaining are the plot rundowns of the soaps. Some of the descriptions... Read More

‘What Kind Of Music Do You Like?’ Is Kind Of A Loaded Question

April 22nd, 2020
Sean Leary

What kind of music do you like? Who are your favorite singers? What’s your favorite song? When I was younger, particularly in high school and early college, I was inclined to judge potential friends and girlfriends in large part on their musical and pop-culture tastes. Yes, I was an entertainment snob. Hard to believe, I know. It was always kind of a loaded question, and sometimes a question to ask when you were loaded, but it tended to have grand implications for the way I would look at that person going forward, in a way perhaps small and insignificant, or a way much more significant. It... Read More

The Five Skills Needed To Successfully Work From Home

The Five Skills Needed To Successfully Work From Home

In this day and age, working from home is more viable than any other previous generation. Many women have given up the corporate world for work at home jobs or businesses that allow us to be with our kiddos and raise them while bringing in a great paycheck. But the decision to even begin can be pretty scary. I started working from home part-time in 2000. I left my corporate graphic design and development job to work from home full-time in 2009 and haven’t looked back since. Working from home has allowed me to be with both of our boys since the day they were born. BUT it was not easy. If you’re... Read More
