I had a lot of fun with the system here in Ithaca, & success with it with the business I owned during those years. / If you want to write me about Hours or anything related, feel free. The system you might be thinking about creating can be a success, with dedicated work and creative thought. I can be emailed at [email protected].

Hours got a big kick out of a project at the School in Visual Arts in NYC. Inspired by Hours , they say, they designed fictitious currencies for different neighborhoods in Manhattan. We particularly liked Little Italy's: the "Favor".
