#HappyBirthday @RodCarrington & @NealBrennan & ... you? (the whole #August19 #BirthdayCohort) on #Aviation Day @HolidaysCalendr | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Holidays Calendar explains the Presidentially proclaimed holiday 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 “Aviation” is built on ancient words that mean Bird. #Avionics #Aviator #Aviatory #Avian #Aviary #Avicide #Aviculture #Aviform

The Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, many years ago today

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: Evander Holyfield, Robert Reed, Chris Kattan, comedian Neal Brennan, parodist (parody-singer) Rodney Carrington, Jon Favreau, John Lithgow, Floyd Mayweather Sr. ... 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)

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