The Gateway to Seven Blogs:

My father, Doug Harrison (V8809), holds an anti-broaching line to steady an

English landing craft as US soldiers disembark in North Africa, Nov. 1942

1. 1,000 MEN, 1,000 STORIES - My chief interest. My father (far left, above) was a World War II veteran, 1941 - 1945, served in the RCNVR and Combined Operations, for better and for worse.

2. FAINT FOOTSTEPS, WW2 - A growing story about my ongoing search for more information related to my father's World War II adventures.

3. IT STRIKES ME FUNNY - My longest serving blog with more topics to consider than one can shake a stick at.

4. THE WORKSHOP by G. Harrison - Everybody needs a workshop, in my humble opinion.

5. The GREAT Canadian Comeback - Short reports re my fun and fitness routine, in search of svelteness. I walk, run, lift weights and put things down... on paper.

6. Stories, Prose and Songs - This blog is largely ignored by me and the world. However, one day you'll hear one of my songs or stories on the radio and you'll say, "I know that guy."

7. Four Mugs and Coffee - This blog was once home to a lively group effort, but now is home to just a few very good ideas. For example, it's home to a brilliant screenplay, Death by Misadventure.
