I think that Hollister - the fictional name of the teen clothing retailer owned by Abercrombie and Fitch (another set of fictional characters) might not be so fictional after all. As I sat pondering meaning of things whilst trying to balance my bodily fluids this morning it hit me.

Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list.
