#HappyBirthday to #LouisCK @NotoriousCK & @EmmyRossum & ... you? (the #September12 #BirthdayCohort) on #EuropeanHeritage Day @Berlin_de_News | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

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

Berlin (Germany)'s website explains Heritage Day in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand the word #Empty (meaning of a word that's part of the base of "Heritage") 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 “Empty (or #Emptied #Emptying #EmptyNest #EmptyNester #Emptier #Emptiness #EmptyHanded)” is built on ancient words that mean "Unoccupied" (originally in the sense "at Leisure," then in the sense of "Housing Nothing").

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: Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins in Jackson's Lord of the Rings-trilogy), Greg Gutfuld, George Jones, Paul F. Tompkins, Paul Walker, Jennifer Hudson, Jesse Owens, basketball-star Yao Ming, Louis C.K., composer Hans Zimmer, Emmy Rossum, Neil Peart, Joe Pantoliano (sell-out operator aboard The Nebuchadnezzar in THE MATRIX), Barry White, 2 Chainz, Ben Folds, Jessica Seinfeld (Jerry's cookbook-writing wife) ... 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)
