A Harvard Holiday
Sure, the best things in life are free. But if you don’t get peace, love, and understanding this holiday season, how about a pair of diamond earrings and two weeks on the Great Barrier Reef?

Best gift you’ve ever received?
Life. Thanks, Mom and Dad. I also got a football for a wedding present. Thanks, Brian. And my best friend gave me a golden retriever puppy named Risky for my birthday when I couldn’t convince my wife to get a dog. Thanks, Cree.
Best gift you’ve ever given?
Viral marketing, which I decided not to patent, but to give to the world. I also gave a school choice proposition to California. They returned it.
Your winter holiday destination?
Lupita Island in Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania. I’m looking forward to being one with the Cape buffaloes.
What’s on your wish list?
Peace and prosperity for all. And someone to digitize every piece of media in my house.
Toughest person on your list to buy for?
My wife. She is always the toughest, because she is the best.
