STREET OF ROGUES
Written by: whatta
I’m a Babyboomer, born in 1955, raised in New York City. One morning in 1968 I woke up after a prophetic dream about finding true love and happiness. It stayed with me my entire life. It wasn’t until I turned 49 (and 11 months) that I realized what it truly tried to teach me. ***** STREET OF ROGUES chronicles the oft-stupid and sometimes bizarre journey of my schlepp to harmony—from New York City to Germany, Austria, Spain, California, Belgium, Switzerland, France, England, Italy, Yugoslavia, Holland, Greece and finally back to NYC and a reunion with many of my old ‘Partners in Crime,’ (whom I hadn’t contacted in twenty-seven years). My life had come full circle, to an understanding of what my childhood dream really meant.
