Well, since you are nosey and asking so openly, then I'll tell you.  I have an apartment in NY, my tenant got laid off and had to move out.  With her leaving, then I'm left with no main income, and with the exchange od the dollar, I can't afford staying in Berlin without renting my apartment...  So, I'm in NY right now, writing from my apartment.  I have many friends here that are like family!  Any other questions I can answer??
