Did You Know that #July21 is also a #HappyBirthday to @YusufCatStevens (a.k.a. #CatStevens) @Josh_Hartnet (that's #JoshHartnett) & the WHOLE #BirthdayCohort of #NationalLamingtonDay | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @PageSix @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or Happy 'whichever of these holidays & or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

National Day Calendar explains our celebration of the Australian pastry (the #Lamington) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words 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 |Lamington| is named after its "inventor" |Lamington|, an aristocratic title based on the name of an English town #Leamington or #Lemmington, built on ancient words that mean |Elm (it's a town in the meadow on the Banks of the River #Leam (anciently #Leame)).

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 Cancer (on the cusp of Leo) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Jon Lovitz, Norman Jewison, comedian George Wallace, lawyer Ken Starr, comedian Godfrey, Garry Trudeau (Mr. Jane Pauley ... who draws sometimes 😋), wrestler Bob Orton, St. Philip Neri, Ernest Hemingway, Robin Williams, Josh Hartnett, Don Knotts, Cat Stevens, Rory Culkin (and we all know his brother ... Shane 🤩), Janet Reno, supermodel Ali Landry, Mick Mulvaney, violinist Isaac Stern ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
the ETERNAL Horoscope-dates

(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)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St. Lawrence of Brindisi, with the clergy wearing White Vestments in the Optional Memorial (Green Vestments otherwise)
