Glen Iris at Letchworth State Park (#2)
1 month ago
I have been to Letchworth State Park but I don’t believe I have been in the museum, council house or the Glen Iris. We didn’t eat in the restaurant but we did walk around a bit.

Darwin Martin House (#1)
1 month ago
Earlier this month we had friends in from Chicago and visited the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo. This is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s best houses. I can’t believe I have never been there before. It still has a long way to go to get it back to the state it was in pre-depression but it’s still something really interesting to see.

Blade Runner (1982). I really enjoyed it. Interesting stylistic elements that we can see later in The 5th Element. I’ve always thought Harrison Ford was not a believable actor and…I still do. However, good job overall.
