#DidYouKnow that @NerdFighters' #EstherDay (on #August3) is also #HappyBirthday @MarthaStewart & @TomBrady that WHOLE #BirthdayCohort ?? | @TSWGO @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
This Star Won't Go Out (We Won't Let It) explains the mission inspired by Ms. #Esther Earl in a report linked through 'that name' below; but first I want to understand that name better. And I find that you understand names better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The name “Esther” might be built on the name of the Near-Eastern goddess |Ishtar, or might be built on ancient words that mean Star (the meaning of the root of the original Hebrew אֶסְתֵּ֣ר).

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' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Leo ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Martin Sheen, Jay North (TV's first live Dennis the Menace), Jo Marie Payton (the mom from Family Matters & Perfect Strangers), Tom Brady, Martha Stewart, Tony Bennett, Michael Ealy (who's been in a lot of things, most of which I haven't seen ... I recognized him from Almost Human, which only ran for one season), director John Landis, John C. McGinley (Perry Cox in Scrubs), Masahiro Sakurai (creator of video-games like Kirby, Super Smash Bros....) ... 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)
