Well, The Realm is moving once again, and getting an extreme makeover which includes retiring The Realm moniker. It took decades of patiently waiting for the squatters to finally leave my new domain, and it finally happened. While registering a domain name for a prospective client, I noticed the domain I've always wanted was finally available. I'm still in the process of making it over, which may take months, but the new domain is:

The Realm will always remain online, this page still serving as the launching point. Maybe I'll add stuff to it from time to time, but for the most part, the domain is where I'll virtually reside from now on.

Throughout The Realm, once and if there is an updated section at the new domain, I'll notate it.

I took another trip out to Arizona, visiting my dad and a friend from high school I haven't seen in 15 years. The first few days of my trip to the desert, I stayed with Greg Zayas and his wife, Valencia, in their newly built home just outside of Phoenix. We went to high school together at Osterholz American High School in Germany back in the early 90's.

Then I headed north to Flagstaff where my dad lives. And again, I forgot how chilly it can get 7,000 feet in the air. We hung out, mostly, but we did take a trip out to visit the Hoover Dam. Today my brother showed up with his girl and her two little ones. I haven't seen him in nearly five years. We travel a lot. Here's a photo we took today at a park around the corner from my dad's pad. I'll be posting more later in The Picture Show.
