#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
