#HappyBirthday to the #May30 #BirthdayCohort (with @SeanGiambrone1 & @CoLmMeaney & ... you?) on #LoomisDay @HolidaysCalendr | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'
That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like today's Loomis Day (day commemorating Mahlon #Loomis, the patent-holder for wireless telegraphy).
That holiday's explanation is linked through that name below; but first I want to understand that name better. And I find that you understand names better when you look at the other words at the bases of the names ...
The name “Loomis” is built on the name #Lomax (an area near |Bury, |Lancashire) built on ancient words that mean Pool |Nook/Recess. #Lomax #Lomaz #Lomis #Lummis #Lummus #Lumax
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Gemini ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Idina Menzel (voice of "Elsa" in FROZEN), Mel Blanc, CeeLo Green, Wynonna Judd, Colm Meaney (Chief Miles O'Brien, STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE), "King of Swing" Benny Goodman, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Ted McGinley (Jefferson D'Arcy on MARRIED WITH CHILDREN), Sean Giambrone (Adam F. Goldberg in The Goldbergs), Stephen Toblowsky (Captain of the Guard, SPACEBALLS) ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(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)
