#HappyBirthday to @therealGZA & #JamesCorden @jkCorden & ... you? (the #August22 #BirthdayCohort) on #Bao Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Holidays Calendar explains the holiday of the Asian stuffed-bun 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 “Bao” is built on ancient words that mean "to Wrap, Bundle, Package; a |Yurt." #Baozi

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 (on the cusp of Virgo) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., GZA, John Lee Hooker, Scooter Libby, Kristen Wiig, James Corden, Ray Bradbury (who wrote The Martian Chronicles, etc.), Trey Gowdy, Claude Debussy ... 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 with the clergy wearing Green Vestments for the day
