They were known variously as the Rascals and Young Rascals and they had a string of hits from the mid-60s to the early 70s. Vocalists Eddie Brigati (vocals) and Felix Cavaliere (keyboard, vocals) are probably the better known members of the group but Gene Cornish was responsible for an essential element of the group's sound on guitar. I was aware of Gene Cornish because he was born in my hometown of Ottawa, Canada in 1946. Happy Birthday, Gene. Here's a familiar tune...
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.

ev'ry day my mind is all around you
looking out from my lonely room.
Day after day
