I did read that after I read the main entry. They are two separate types of writing and I would not compare them both are great but I will say I am partial to the Journal entry as I can relate to those type of experiences as a young man and in my visits to New Orleans and other places. Doesn't hurt that I know your voice so I can hear you writing that out clearly
Had an easy time visualizing this...I think an Eddie Murphy movie of this gents adventures is in order
Thanks, Mike — did you read the journal entry as well? From not long after Whitman days.
