He's pretty chill.

I'll say this,
Fly fishing in Montana was incredible. I spent three days fishing on the Yellowstone River with my Dad, Ben, and Steve (Uncle Steve not German Shepherd Steve).
This trip was the perfect way to rejuvenate and relax after a week full of car breakdowns and other sorts of Los Angeles nonsense.
The mountains, winding rivers, wildlife, and mesquite Montana air were all welcome changes to the Smog, traffic, and validated parking.

Day 1. Most fish - Steve*
Day 2. First to catch 4 types of Trout - Winner*
Day 3. Total inches of fish caught in a day (Team) - Winner*
Of course it wouldn't be a true Curtis fishing trip without some Old-guy humor,
"Nice cast Sally!"
That sort of thing.

After the fishing trip, it was back to Minnesota for (Yep, you guessed it) ANOTHER Wedding. Cripes!
We celebrated the union of one of my "top dudes" CJ Barr and his lovely lady Molly Herbranson.
I was honored to stand as a Groomsman and provide a little music along with some other friends.
We played Coldplay's "Fix You" as Molly made her way down the aisle.
I must say, it sounded pretty epic.
Molly's cousin provided an awesome lead electric guitar and I got stuck on the keyboard.
I am pretty horrible at the piano and had to cheat by putting pieces of tape on the keys I was supposed to play during the song.
Earlier that day, the wedding party headed downtown to the old Mill City Museum in Menneapolis to take pictures.
This museum was built into the ruins of what was once the largest flour mill in the world.
The rest of the trip was spent hanging out with friends and family, including little Sammie...

| You know your team is crap when these seats cost $10 |
Attending BU's homecoming game, which I must say gets stranger every year as a former player. Watching the team from the stands was seriously nostalgic and came with the harsh realization that I have become one of those old guys who criticizes each play by saying
"There's no way any team would try to run on us like that in '07 with the defense we had...those were the days".
With a bike ride.
I've been riding the Minnetonka bike trails for as long as I can remember, but in the past few years, we've added a 21+ twist.
Depart from the Curtis house and take the 5 mile trail into Excelsior to the bars.
The real fun begins on the ride home, in the dark, faculties partly-cloudy, on a trail that now seems 20 miles longer than it did earlier.

The flight back to California was pretty nice.
It had rained earlier that day in LA, which despite the widespread panic that can cause, made for some nice cool weather.

| Not quite Montana |

They smell awful.
That's what's up.
A bit of a weak post but oh well.
In other news, I went to the "wrap party" for my friends' movie I was involved in. The one where I played a Mexican Drug addict. It looks pretty good. I look like crap but we'll wait for the finished product before we pass any judgement.
Umm what else??
My work situation is stagnant as of right now but I am crossing my fingers to get back on set for season two of World's Worst Tenants which should start up in a couple weeks.
I'm happy to announce that I have advanced to a 5-0 record in one of my fantasy football leagues. My team 'Paranormal Sacktivity' is a well-oiled machine and shows no signs of slowing down with Cam Newton at the helm.
Steph and I are going camping next week in Northern Cal, I'm psyched. AND they're playing Poltergeist at the Hollywood forever cemetary on Saturday, so there's that.
In the mean time I'll be hanging out, watching The Wonder Years on Netflix.
I was worried it was going to be one of those shows you love as a kid and then get all excited to show your friends when your older and then it totally sucks (Like when I tried showing Steph 'The Dark Crystal' - which I still defend as a classic).
Not this though, this is pure gold.
Yep.
