more juxtapositions
I love making note of people born on the same day. Then I gaze into space and ponder what they have in common. More accurately, I force something to occur to me that they have in common. Today is Charles de Gaulle and Diane Sawyer (what, besides stiff upper lips?), Abigail Adams and Lady Bird Johnson (hmm, both were president's wives and looked a little alike), Ralph Fiennes and Geraldine Page and Barbara Billingsley and Hector Elizondo (all wonderful actors), George Eliot and Andre Gide (both grand novelists), Hoagy Carmichael and Benjamin Britten (both wrote highly respected music but I love one and loathe the other), Doris Duke (the same exact day as Lady Bird . . . wonder what I can make of that?), Steve Garvey and many baseball, football and golf stars, Jean-Michel Basquiat (more out there than the others today), etc., etc. Interesting.
