#HappyBirthday to @LaurenLapkus & @CarlyFiorina & ... you? (the #September6 #BirthdayCohort) on #Hasten (etc.) Day @TimeAndDateSITE @PowerThesaurus | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

on

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

(It's actually (unofficially) "Fight Procrastination"-Day, but 'Hasten' is one of the 644+ antonyms of "Procrastinate" listed here.)

Time and Date explains #FightProcrastination 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 “Hasten (along with #Hastened #Hastening #Haste #Hasted #Hasting #Hasty #MakeHaste #PostHaste ('quick like a speedy delivery by postal-horseman'))” is built on ancient foundations shared with words that mean Violent, |Vehement, |Impetuous Strife.

Hmm ... if the choice is between Procrastination & 'Strife,' are you sure you want
 to 'Fight Procrastination'?

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 ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Lauren Lapkus (whom I'm having a hard time believing is not Chelsea Peritti (Gina Linetti on BROOKLYN NINE-NINE)), David Allen Coe, Michael Winslow, Idris Elba, Marquis de Sade, Jane Curtain, Gov. Chris Christie, Jeff Foxworthy, Carly Fiorina (CEO of Hewlett-Packard ... and wasn't she a candidate for The U.S. Executive-Branch? (yes, a 2016 Republican ... oh, what might have been ... ) ... 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
