#HappyBirthday to the #May2 #BirthdayCohort (with @EllieKemper6 & #DwayneJohnson @TheRock & ... you?) on #NationalBrothersAndSistersDay @NationalToday | @FamousBirthdays @411Holidays @MySundayMass

So I had a post that I rewrote everyday to replace 'yesterday's birthday-cohort' with 'today's birthday-cohort.' One day I asked myself, 'Why don't I just do an entry for every day (with that day's cohort & holidays & maybe its event-anniversaries)?'

That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like today (National #Brothers & #Sisters (but NOT Siblings? 😕) Day ... as well as National Harry Potter Day).

That holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word "Brothers" is built on the same ancient words as "Bully (n.); |fraternity; |friar; |friary; |pal."

#Brethren #Bro #Brother #Bros #Brer #Brotherly #StepBrother #HalfBrother #BrotherInLaw #BrothersInLaw #Brotherhood

The word "Sisters" is built on ancient words that mean "one's Own Woman" (I'm reminded of the time Abram (before he changed his name to Abraham) told the Pharoah that Sarai (pre-Sarah) was "his Sister" rather than his Wife).

Today's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, probably in the chart of Taurus: Dwayne Johnson (WWE's The Rock), David Beckham, Lily Allen, Donatella Versace, Ellie Kemper (UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT), Lesley Gore, Christine Baranski (Leonard's mom on THE BIG BANG THEORY), WWF's Big Boss Man (not to be confused with Vince McMahon, or whoever owned it at that time ...)

(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
 about them) in the comments, thanks)

And I Wonder What Saints' Day my Heart of the Nation calendar says this is:

St. Athanasius, but the clergy's in White Vestments (for the Memorial)
