I'm happy to say that Gordon Lewis's print sale (the umbrella lady, a.k.a. Precipitation) has been popular—we expected it to do well, but it has sold beyond expectations. A big success.
Just a reminder—don't forget that orders close in a matter of hours, at 12 noon on Wednesday. So if you intend to order a print for yourself, please make sure you get around to it before the deadline.
Oh, and that's 12 noon U.S. Eastern (Gordon's) time, so you might have to adjust for wherever in the world you are. Noon Eastern time, for example, is 9:00 a.m. in Seattle, 2:00 p.m. in San Paulo, 5:00 p.m. in Brighton, 8:00 p.m. in Dubai, 5:00 Thursday morning in Kamchatka, and, here at TOP World Headquarters in Wisconsin, 6:43.*
Anyway, don't forget. And thanks to all.
Mike
*Old George Carlin joke. Then again, they're all old George Carlin jokes.
UPDATE, Wednesday 12:38 p.m.: The sale has now ended and the"Buy It Now" tab has been removed from the original post. I'm happy to report that the sale was a smashing success! Thanks to everyone who participated. —Mike

Or, to really belabor the point, check out your time here: World Clock. Turns out, Hugh wasn't joking about Kathmandu and Caracas.

Me joke about time zones? Never! They are crazy enough to start with.
Once when I was working at cisco, I got called for jury duty. During voir dire the DA's side asked me what a software engineer does. I said that as an example I had led a group of 5 engineers , 3 with doctorates, for the last 2 weeks arguing about what time it was. (determining the time of day for users in a world wide network is not as simple as you might imagine, for an example every day lasts for 50 hours).
Didn't get picked.
