November 12th
November 12th BCOF PROMPT: Write about Ryan          Gosling, Neil Young, Charles Manson, Sun Yat-Sen, or Auguste Rodin.          
Why these particular people? I set out to discover what if anything they had in common. Ah, they all share the same birth date, November 12th.
         During my online research which involved consulting Wikipedia I learned a few things. Some of the names I recognized, but,hey, there's always more room for facts and or information. Here's a brief summary.
         Ryan Gosling is a Canadian born actor, born the same year as my eldest, 1980.Unfortunately, he is not single, not that I'd be so forward as to play matchmaker.
          Okay, I knew the name Neil Young. He's a singer/musician born in 1945, and he's also a fellow Canadian. What I discovered is that he helped to create Farm Aid which promotes a series of benefit concerts to help keep farms viable. He and I were both born in Toronto and both of us moved on from that city.
          Charles Manson is not exactly a household name, or someone I'd invite to dinner, yet I am familiar with him and his notoriety. He shall remain synonymous with a cult and horrific murders for which he was imprisoned. Two words describe him and his followers, helter shelter.
         The former president of China, Sun Yat-Sen, was born in 1866. Apparently, he had the respect of both the Communist Party and the Nationalist Party.
         In 1840 Paris Auguste Rodin entered the world, He became a revered artist/sculptor lauded for many incredible sculptures including one known as The Thinker.
         Five very different November 12th babies!
