6/5/00 5:33 am
Sitting outside on -----'s back porch, or balcony, or whatever it's supposed to be called.  It's 11:30 local time, morning.  I am somewhat puzzled by circumstances.  Smells are coming back to haunt me.  There is a lot more green here than in New York and I know it's something missing in my life.

I had enough nerve to call comdirect's number. "Ihr Konto wurde gesperrt; Sie werden mit unseren Kundenbetreuer verbunden..." and of course I hung up.  Slight relief, that no real damage can happen now, but I have no idea what I owe them, if anything.  I think I can sit on that one for a while.  I'm such a chicken shit.

Yes indeed, Stuttgart.  What a place.  Hard to believe I lived hereabouts for so long, hard to imagine why I stayed, why I left, why I haven't been back till now, all these things.  Life is a mystery.  I've changed a lot, it's clear, yet I'm still the same old Chasterus.

No plans for today  except to chat with -----.  No plans for tomorrow except to say good-bye.
