sudden disappearance from New York

Hi- I’ve been transported back to Berlin with a non-changeable, nonrefundable ticket. There are many possible explanations for this, not many of them are plausible. One has to do with an ex-boyfriend whose new apartment I’m helping to renovate, whose lease ran out on his old one, who needed a place to stay and threatened publicly to move in with me- so, I said fine, but then arranged to be away. Another has to do with a dear friend who has gone to Chapel Hill to finish writing he ph.d. and had a room in Mitte to sublet. Another has to do with my curiosity about ‘green’ architecture firms based in Germany and Switzerland. France has some too… I’ve a large project on the horizon and may need to collaborate… or give the project away to someone who will do a good job with it. And yet another, not very good reason for me to have gotten on an airplane, is to learn a bit of the German language. So, sorry for the sudden disappearance; I had only about three days to arrange all this.
