Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters of all races from all places. Happy belated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! I honor the memory of the late doctor by conversing with the seventeenth official guest of the pod: my next-door neighbor Mariano Oliver. As usual, Doc's away at work so Mom keeps his seat warm and the conversation at a good flow (With Duke the dog poking his wet nose in the chatter). Hear us get to know Mariano much better than through just texts and passing by one another as he gives us the lowdown on living amongst us in the same gated community, his love and passion for sports, raising two adolescent daughters as a divorced dad, professionalizing the role of a wine connoisseur and agreeing to taste test wines the next time he returns.
Dedicated to...
The would've-been 80th birthday of the honorable Muhammad Ali (Unforgotten legend in the ring with a butterfly float with a mean bee sting)
January 17, 1942 - June 3, 2016
P.S.,
Listen to the song "Happy Birthday" by R&B legend Stevie Wonder to commemorate the legacy of the late, great MLK
