The nose knows

The nose knows when to follow the heart, when you can smell the high octane from three blocks away. The nose knows it's time to go, time to check the belts and tires, assure the alignment is correct, taxes are due and as many of our passions ease from there slumber, it's spring.

That wonderful time of year when all the hard work of the winter and fall finally get to see the sun. That first time the car is washed, the bike is started or the boat is inched anywhere near the water.

Spring is the time to get all the plans set in order for the year to come, reservations for camp sites are planned out, shows are researched,  routes are mapped to optimize the adventure.

I like to get everything set, maybe if it's only just in my head, but at least a rough idea of what's to come. For me that's one great adventure to be shared with one amazing person, for the Black Pearl there are a few shows I would like to make it to.

The Pearl essence however I have all sorts of things in my head, there will be some interviews of some fantastic craftsman, some features on some fantastic craftsmanship, and hopefully a few photo essays thrown in along the way for the visual effects.

I look forward to this coming year and the adventures that follow.
