#HappyBirthday to the #May26 #BirthdayCohort (with @PamGrier & #BobcatGoldthwait @BCGoldthwait & ... you?) on #NationalCherryDessertDay @CDKitchen | @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 National #Cherry Dessert Day, -Paper Airplane Day, -Blueberry Cheesecake Day, Sally Ride Day, World-Dracula Day, -Lindy Hop Day, -Red Head Day ...
That holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want 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 "Cherry" is built on ancient words for the same |Pulpy |Drupe of the Well-Known Tree-type (possibly related to the French word for "|Sweetheart," though that's most likely because Cherries are often used to symbolize the |Fleeting quality of Life's Pleasures (the same reason 'Cherry' is slang for the |Maidenhead or |Virginity of the Young Girl (|Hymen)))
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Gemini ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: John Wayne, Stevie Nicks, James Arness, Sally Ride, Helena Bonham Carter, Lenny Kravitz, Miles Davis, Hank Williams Jr., Dr. Jack Kevorkian, Pam Grier, Jay Silverheels (Tonto on THE LONE RANGER), Bobcat Goldthwait, Al Jolson (who wrote-or-sang "Over the Rainbow," "You Made Me Love You," "California Here I Come" ...), Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin in STAR WARS ...), Phillip Michael Thomas (detective Tubbs on MIAMI VICE), Aldo Gucci (eldest son of Guccio, who founded the family company), sportscaster Brent Musburger, Mamie Smith (who sang "Crazy Blues" ...),

(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:
a Solemnity for THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD (in 2022), with the clergy wearing White Vestments
