BOXER AND JUDGE SET FOR INTERVIEW ON THIS WEEK'S "WHINE WITH CHEEZ"

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This love we shared
Would always be
There'd be no coming day
No morning light above
To make me realize our love
Is over

"It's Over" by Jimmie Rodgers,

Immortalized by Elvis Presley

Yes, time is a moving thing, two units of which, the day and the year, are said to be measured by the rotation and revolution of Earth, our planetary home.

My inconsequential life also cycles around lunations or months, said to be precisely 29.53 days in length, a calculation connected to phases of the moon or, in my case, a monthly electric bill in my mailbox.

For the past year or so, my weeks have also been associated with the Whine with Cheez podcast emanating from Angelita's Casa de Cafe each Sunday at 1:30 PM.  How many have there been?  At least 50 or so for me, I think.

OmAr Juarez

One of this Sunday's guests will be undefeated Brownsville boxer OmAr "El Relampago" Juarez.

Certainly, we'll have to ask him why he capitalizes the "A" in his first name.(Juarez will be the first boxer I've met since a chance, very brief encounter with Muhammad Ali in 1970.)

Admittedly, I've not followed boxing since legendary broadcaster Howard Cosell stopped taking money for his commentary and coverage of a sport he came to view as barbaric and debilitating.  

Hypocritically, I still watch the Dallas Cowboys, who also perform in an activity proven to be inconsistent with a long, healthy, pain-free existence.

Judge Migdalia Lopez

Also appearing on the podcast is longtime District Judge Migdalia Lopez, who's running for the 13th Court of Appeals, a district that covers 20 South Texas counties. 

Lopez claims 20 years of service as a District Judge as well as 10 years as an Assistant District Attorney in her resume'.
