Construction of the ark in the backyard here at Anchovy World Headquarters will commence on the weekend if the rain doesn’t finally stop. Fortunately, there’s a Noah’s Ark Factsheet available on the interwebs.

Best Laid Plans
My intention was to bang together my raised veggie garden on the weekend, but with the snow pelting against my face I just didn’t feel the love for gardening activities. Reading and enjoying an afternoon nap seemed to me to be far more civilized activities.… Read More
I’m sorry, I never should have said that…
Dear Mother Nature, I’m so sorry, I never should have suggested you were drunk the other day. I don’t know what got into me. It will never happen again. Now would you please make the rain stop? C’mon, please?
