#HappyBirthday to @BethRiesgraf & #RupertGrint @Rup__Grint & ... you? (the #August24 #BirthdayCohort) on #Peach-Pie Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Holidays Calendar explains a bit of the history of peach pie 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 “Peach” (if not an obsolete shortening of the word Impeach (with #Peached #Peaching #Peacher)) is built on ancient words that mean Persian Apple (the #PeachTree is native to China, but it arrived in Europe via Persia ... also a nickname for an attractive woman and -for a good person). #Peaches #Peachy #PeachesAndCream #PeachBlossom (the pink hue named after the flora of the same shade) #PeachState (Georgia, home of the #GeorgiaPeach)

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 Virgo (on the cusp of Leo) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: legislator Joe Manchin, basketball-star Reggie Miller, Steve Guttenberg, Jennifer Lien (from STAR TREK: VOYAGER?), legislator Mike Huckabee, baseball-star Enrique Hernandez, Kenny Baker (R2?), Yasser Arafat, Vince McMahon, Dave Chappelle, Stephen Fry, Rupert Grint, John Green, Don Carlo Gambino (The (REAL) Godfather), David Koechner (Champion "Champ" Kind in ANCHORMAN:...), Marlee Matlin, baseball-star Cal Ripken Jr., Beth Riesgraf (Parker on LEVERAGE), Craig Kilborn ... 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. Bartholomew (Apostle), with the clergy wearing Red Vestments for the Feast
