He is probably best known for starring in a string of films with buddy Burt Reynolds; together they appeared in the films The Cannonball Run and Cannonball Run II, Smokey and the Bandit II, The End, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and All Dogs Go to Heaven. Here's a clip of outakes with Dom from Cannonball Run. R.I.P. Dom DeLuise...

That's horrible news. I was just thinking yesterday that I need to watch Cannonball Run since I hadn't seen it in forever.

Yes, so sad. I really liked the guy. He seemed like the kind of person who you could really be friends with, and just be yourself. Nothing pretentious about him.

Paroxysm Paradox

The weather was unseasonably warm for October. The sun set around 6:30 but the daylight hours were quite enjoyable. So thought Richard, as he set out for his daily walk in the woods. He marvelled at the turning leaves which exhibited an explosion of colour more significant with each passing day.

But Richard knew the turning leaves would soon start to fall. And the trees would soon be bare with no leaves at all. And then the snow would fly and fall from the trees as the leaves had before it.

Richard couldn't help but think of the sudden change to come as a seizure of sorts. And he wasn't looking forward to it. After all, who would welcome a seizure, he thought, as he rolled uncontrollably among the leaves.

This week paroxysm/seizure was the prompt at Two Word Tuesday.
