I’m sorry to do two columns in a row that are related to “Community” (and nearly all columns about NBC shows). In the reasons why Donald Glover is the best, there was only a small section of why he’s so good in the show. But with Dan Harmon, the show’s creator, it’s a completely different... Read more »

Here’s a tip: Bicyclists, get a shower cap. It is a lightweight, easy to attain and deceptively simple tool that will change the way you bike in the rain. When it looks like it’s going to rain, if you’re like most people, you’ll probably grab a plastic grocery bag before you leave the house on... Read more »
