#HappyBirthday to the #June25 #BirthdayCohort (with #DikembeMutombo @officialmutombo & @RickyGervais & ... you?) on #AnthonyBourdainDay @NationalToday | @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)?'
Today's holiday's explanation is linked through 'the #Bourdain surname' 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 surname “Bourdain” is built on either the personal name |Burdo or ancient words that mean "|Bourdon (staff-like instrument that a Pilgrim carries)." #Burdon #Burden #Bourden #Bourdon #Birden #Berden #Burdin #Burdin #Burdun #Burdon #Burdune #Burghdone #Burdou
Today's Birthday-Cohort (beside Anthony Bourdain)
Astrologically, their sign is Cancer (on the cusp of Gemini) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Dikembe Mutombo, Eric Carle (who wrote THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR), George Michael, Eric Arthur Blair (a.k.a. George Orwell), Ricky Gervais, Carly Simon, The Honorable Sonia Sotomayor, June Lockhart, Jimmie Walker (hey-HEY-hey!), Jeff Cohen (Chunk, THE GOONIES) ... 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)
