The Ol’ Homestead
Thursday, March 8
Phillip and Daniel both had auditions in the morning, so I got some more writing done on my script. After lunch Phillip and I went up to Canyon Country to see where I grew up as a kid.
We went down Placerita Canyon road, and a wildfire had ripped through the area. The park looked OK, but the surrounding hills were all burnt away. I got some pictures, but can’t get them on my computer for some reason.
We passed the house on the hill and Mint Canyon School, then went down the “back way” to see if the feed store was still there. The building is, but now it’s a Salvation Army Thrift Store.
Phillip really liked the landscape of the area, and it’s only 30 minutes from where he lives in Glendale.
Daniel, meanwhile, got a “Legends of Wrestling” game for XBox, and I proceeded to be unbeatable at it. Phillip finally beat me in a cage match, after saying he wasn’t going to sleep until he won a match.
