Big Bear and Third Day Concert

I took advantage of the President's day weekend and took a couple more days off to take a long overdue vacation. Since I celebrated my birthday two weeks ago, my family decided to spend a couple of days at a cabin up in Big Bear here in California to catch the last snow of the season. It was sunny and beautiful. No celphones and internet but I brought the very essential Xbox 360 and spent until 3:30 am playing Halo 3 and Ghost Recon 2. Photo above was taken from the patio of our cabin facing north overlooking Big Bear Lake.
Then to conclude my "birthday vacation", my wife Bing bought us tickets to one of my favorite Christian rock bands, Third Day at the House of Blues in Sunset Strip, Hollywood. They definitely rocked the house and there were also moments when they turned HOB into a sanctuary of worship. Awesome. For those of you in Florida, they will have a concert at the House of Blues at the Downtown Disney in Lake Buena Vista on February 29. Check thirdday.com for more concert details.
Anyway, it was a good time off...now I'm back to work.

Happy belated birthday, Armand! Now that's one band I've heard of but never heard, so it's extra incentive to go hunt down some of their music...

Wow, such a lovely view - beautiful! So glad you got to have a vacation.

Hey happy birthday Armand!

Great to hear that you enjoyed your well deserved vacation in the snow, rocking around and having fun with xbox games! (..so glad to hear that Alf is not the only weirdo shooting against spooky creatures in the middle of the night!)
Welcome back and speak to you soon!
