#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #February22 #BirthdayCohort with #JeriRyan @JeriLRyan & #iLizaShlesinger @iLiza & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #MonoTaskingDay (or #SingleTaskingDay) | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!' (including OTHER palindrome-dates like this one, 1/1, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 7/7, 8/8, 9/9, 10/01?, 11/11 & 12/21!)
Holidays Calendar explains #Mono-Tasking (though they call it 'Single Tasking Day') in a report linked through 'the hyperlinks' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see '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 into their Foundation)
The prefix “Mono-” is built on ancient words that mean Small, Isolated.

I sometimes get a little mind-spark from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that spark 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 Pisces (in the wake of Aquarius) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: President George Washington (though we might celebrate it on a different day), Drew Barrymore, animal-tamer Steve Irwin, Jeri Ryan (7 of 9 on STAR TREK: VOYAGER), O.J. Simpson's defense attorney Robert Kardashian, Julius Erving (Dr. J), comedian Iliza Shlesinger, Robert Young (the father in Father Knows Best), Ted Kennedy, philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, Kyle MacLachlan (Paul Atreides in Lynch's DUNE), Lea Salonga (Miss Saigon), James Blunt, Rachel Dratch, James Hong, Oliver (William Oliver Swoffard, "Good Morning Starshine"), Robert Baden-Powell
... 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!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's ~
