[at-l] How not to keep a journal...

[Felix J]

(I don't know if this ever 'showed up' on the list, or not. So, by gum, 
I'm sendin' it again)

People ALWAYS ask me if I kept a journal from my thru-hike...or, why I 
didn't. Well, since the 9th anniversary of stuff keeps happening, I got 
out my 'journal'. I don't think I've ever 'posted' this before...and, 
may not have ever even read it after it was written.
