#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #January19 #BirthdayCohort with @JodieSweetin (of @FullerHouse &c) & #MichaelCrawford (admired by @crawfordmichael) & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #WorldQuarkDay @HolidaySmart | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass @CopelandNetwork
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holiday Smart explains #Quark (the one which the world is celebrating this day, anyway) 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 “Quark” is from ... yes, I thought 'the Sub-Atomic Particle' was the original meaning of the word; but that word is actually built on ancient words that mean Curds, |Rubbish, |Cottage Cheese (which is what 'the Quark we celebrate today' is a form-of!)
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' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Capricorn (on the cusp of Aquarius) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Dolly Parton, Katey Sagal, Robert E. Lee, Pete Buttigieg, Edgar Allan Poe, Janis Joplin, Robert Palmer, Carman, Paula Deen, Jodie Sweetin (playing the middle sister on FULL HOUSE), Michael Crawford (playing Andrew Lloyd Webber's main "Phantom of the Opera"), Phil Everly (of The Everly Brothers)
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

I haven't gotten my Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing); so I look at my KCM 2022 Calendar, which tells us that today's the day to read Genesis 33:1-35:8 & Matthew 13 (if we're sticking to the plan to read the whole Bible in a Year)
