Robert, the Harvard Graduate?

by reissmd, posted in Uncategorized

Many years ago while waiting for my car to be washed I wandered in to the attached convenience store.  In it, I found a red t-shirt with HARVARD written out in big block letters.  Upon closer inspection I saw in tiny print above HARVARD the wording, “I never went to”.   The shirt seemed perfect for me.

harvard-never-went-to
Not the same shirt that I saw, but you get the idea.

I am very pleased with the education I got at USC but I would be lying if I didn’t admit that somewhere deep inside my brain there is that desire to say that I attended an Ivy, with Harvard of course being the ultimate of that group.  Well tomorrow my time will have come.  The next three days I will be a Harvard student and get all the up to date information that the Harvard medical school faculty has to offer.  I might not get a Harvard diploma but I will get a certificate with the name of that illustrious institution.

You might be saying to yourself why travel all that way when everything you need to know is at your fingertips on the World Wide Web.  That comes to the real reason for the trip, my intense desire to blog.  I’ve always been envious of people who have real passion in their lives.  You know the types, the guy with all the fancy tools in his garage and makes amazing furniture.  Or the person who is always on the golf course (although I agree with Mark Twain in that golf seems like a good walk ruined).  Then there are the collectors:  stamps, coins, rare books, you name it, there is someone passionate about collecting stuff. Even my young son has developed a hobby of tinkering with electronics.  It makes me very envious.

Well my time has come and it is this blog.  I love writing about our travels and really enjoy all the comments people post and positive feedback I hear about our adventures.  The blog has become my passion.  As we travel I am constantly thinking of what to write and what to show.  So we are off to Boston to have some fun and possibly even learn some medicine.

Bye for now,

Robert Reiss, Harvard pseudograd, Class of October 19-21, 2016

  1. You are one crazy guy. Mike and I had a good laugh. He just came back from a mile and a half run. He is passionate about doing that without getting lost – easier said than done, given his realities these days. Enjoy your travels and do it now. We are so grateful for every mile of jet fuel we used in the years since Mike’s retirement 6 years ago. These days we stick closer to home and enjoy reading about others’ travels. Greetings to your lovely wife.

  12. Can’t wait to hear about this trip and harvard. Perhaps you will conceive of the next Facebook technology like Zuckerberg discovered Facebook while he was there at Harvard and remember he didn’t finish school so don’t worry about leaving before the semester ends as apparently it didn’t hurt his future.

    Hope these blogs can be produced as a Netflix original, it will be the next Seinfeld which is what is missing from television today.

    Have fun.

    Hello Patrice if you are reading his blogs like the rest of us out here in cyberspace.

  14. This is the perfect time to go to New England. You should still be able to see a good deal of changing colors. If you happen to stay at the Boston Plaza Hotel, look for my daughter (she’s the Marketing Manager there) Vanessa and she’ll get you a pair of RedSox tickets (just kidding, the Sox did not make the playoffs). But seriously, she’ll fix you with a tour of the city or something like that. Enjoy your student life at Harvard, and your stay in Boston.
