When Pride Still Mattered
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on January 20th, 2011
Spotlights making his large shadow larger, “Lombardi” emerged from the darkness, slowly striding to centre stage.
My ticket told me that I was sitting in The Circle in the Square Theatre. The calendar told me it was December 29, 2010. My body told me I was 45 years old.

But as I saw the “Lombardi” character emerge onstage to open the play bearing his name, I was emotionally transported. Read the rest of this entry »
Lucas’ Story
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on January 13th, 2011
One of our colleagues needs your help.
Lucas Spata, just 35 years old, of the Vancouver Canucks marketing team is losing his three-year battle with micro cell cancer. He is presently in a hospice in Vancouver and soon he will leave behind a young widow and a three-year-old son. Read the rest of this entry »
Mo’mentum
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on November 18th, 2010
The Mo’ is flowing at MojanOne!
This week I personally passed the Mollenium mark in fundraising, scoring $1236.00 to date in support of Prostate Cancer research. Thanks to all of my Mo’ Bros and Mo’ Sistas who have supported me. And if you haven’t…. Well, click here and show me the Mo’ney!!!
Apparently, cracking the big M has me in something called the “Platinum Club”. That’s the trackable part of this fundraiser. But what isn’t tracked is the really important stuff. The jokes. The jabs. The conversations. The raising awareness. The office camaraderie. The teasing. The styling. The education. Read the rest of this entry »
Mo’ Pitch!
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on November 4th, 2010
I’m a stickler for typos, so it took me a few minutes to realize that when one of my MojanOne “Movember” teammates sent me the one sentence email, “How is it Moing?” that they weren’t being sloppy! Or MOppy! They were having mo’ fun!
Sensing there was some MOmentum building in our office for this MOvember thing, I wanted to check out how the rest of our team was doing.
Our Calgary team, who are sporting the IDA moniker for Integrated Duster Activations, struck a pose on Day One that has them off and facing to some big fundraising goals. One of our interns has already raised two hundred and ten MOllars! Meow! Read the rest of this entry »

MojanOne Minute
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on October 28th, 2010
I’m told I talk too much. Apparently my blogs are too long as well.
So for this week, I’ll make it quick.
My underdog football team got waxed in our semi-finals game. The maligned QB turned hero receiver was injured on the 3rd play of the game and never returned. Boo hoo.

How do you win a football game 1-0? Well, first you have to play it by Canadian rules.
Then you have to tackle a returner off a missed field goal, or following a punt, in their end zone.
How do you make the playoffs when you didn’t win a single regular season game? Well, first you have to be grateful that you play in a high school league where everybody makes the playoffs.

Swing Vote
Posted by Mark Harrison in Mark Harrison, TrojanOne on October 14th, 2010
I read the other day that a guy named “Bubbles” is running for mayor in my hometown of Orillia.
Apparently, this is quite funny. But, since I don’t watch Trailer Park Boys, I don’t quite get the Bubbles part. Locals report he is a dead ringer for the TV show character; although, in real life, he is a piano technician and apparently an SPCA volunteer. While he hasn’t put his name on the official log, the unofficial candidate is taking a stab at being a duopolous mayor as he is simultaneously running in Severn Township. Clearly, there is no shortage of ambition here. Read the rest of this entry »
