#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October19 #BirthdayCohort with @NealBrennan & @ChrisKattan & ... You?) on #Kentucky Day @NationalDayCal | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

National Day Calendar explains why The Bluegrass State is worth celebrating in a report linked through 'that name' below; but first I want to understand that name better. And I find you understand names 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)

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 Libra (on the cusp of Scorpio) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Chris Kattan, John Le Carrè, Robert Reed, comedian Neal Brennan, psychic John Edward, Rodney Carrington, Jon Favreau, Evander Holyfield, John Lithgow, Floyd Mayweather Sr. ...

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
You can add
 your- or your friends'- or famous people (whom YOU
recognize)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating St. John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues and co., with the clergy wearing Red Vestments for the Memorial
