#DidYouKnow that #July31 is ALSO #HappyBirthday to #JessicaWilliams (of the @2DopeQueens) & #DeanCain (the @realDeanCain) & the WHOLE #BirthdayCohort of #NationalAvocadoDay @CCM_MediShare | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

MediShare offers some good ways to celebrate #Avocado Day 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 word “Avocado” is built on ancient Aztec words for the |Oily, |Tropical Fruit---words that have also come to mean mean Testicle (for the Avocado's shape) & Lawyer (for the Aztec word's similarity to the Spanish word for 'a Legal |Advocate'). #AlligatorPear

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: comedian Jessica Williams, J.K. Rowling, Wesley Snipes, Dean Cain, Ted Cassidy (Lurch on The Addams Family), Fatboy Slim ... 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, with the clergy wearing Green Vestments for the season (wearing White Vestments in past/future Memorials for St. Ignatius of Loyola)
