Shazzam!

And we're back ladies and gentlemen. Four days ago my old laptop bit the biscuit. After unsuccessfully trying mouth-to-mouth on my hard drive, (it wasn't what it sounds like) I gave up my efforts, weeped uncontrollably at it's grave side and held my breath and went with this year's model.

I gotto go now, folks. But I'll be back soon, catching up on my outstanding commitments. First up my "roast" of fellow "Humor Blogger Dot Com" blogger Dani Whack Job. And after that I'll catch you up pn the Humor Bloggers' story meme Stay tuned!

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.
