Sneakers The day after I returned from being in Iceland to attend my father in law's funeral services our cat Sneakers got hit by a car and died- (EDIT (6-14-17) I just found out from a neighbor that our cat wasn't killed by a car- a deranged homeless person apparently killed him and placed his body out in front of our house- this neighbor called the police whom didn't think it was important to notify us so we just found him dead in front of our house the next morning....MERICA... there's mentally ill people roaming the streets and living in the bushes throughout the cities) I just buried him in our backyard. He had a good cat life as he ate the best cat food, got to sleep in our bed and we were always petting him- it's still sad when one of your little furry buddies has their life cut short. He was a cool cat, we'll miss him. See you in another place Sneakers, M.

Malta This is a post to pay my respects to my father in law- He passed on to another place about two weeks ago- I just returned from Iceland after attending the services- He treated me as a friend and with the utmost respect from the first time we met- We shared many laughs and fun times together- he was a smart guy(and a geek like me) that spoke 5 languages and had a great(and often unbridled) sense of humor- we got along well- Last summer he flew my wife and I out to visit him in Malta for a few weeks- I snapped the above photo from his balcony- he always treated us the best you can treat a person- I will be eternally grateful to him for his kindness and for the trust he placed in me- My wife and I just did the basic legal marriage thing when we got married but he insisted on throwing us a small party afterwards- He gave a speech and seemed really happy about us getting married- A father's trust means a lot- Thank you Obi- hope to see you again in other places
