Blind Date

Have you ever been on a blind date?  Maybe you were set up by well meaning friends or met someone online.  The word "blind" indicates that you haven't seen the person.  You have no idea what they look like.  If you consider the other definition of the word "date", then the phrase blind date could refer to a specific day and time that are unknown to you.  There are certain milestones that you acknowledge as being significant to you.  It may be your birthday, anniversary, graduation date, or another event that you mark on the calendar.  Other people may remember the same dates for different reasons that are important to them.  Have you ever wondered if there were historical events linked to dates that are special to you?  Do you know what notable people share your birthday?  You might find some interesting connections to your key dates.
