Down by the Banks of the Ohio

[Edward Dolan]

I believe Tom Sherman and I are destined to fight a duel down by the banks
of the Ohio, the only river in America that is deserving of such a trial.

My one and only concern is that this be conducted with honor. If we cannot
be gentlemen, then we should not do it at all. I will want Jim McNamara of
Chicago to be my second and Tom Sherman can have Ed Gin, also of Chicago and
his criminal vandal troll buddy, to be his second. Again, the only thing
that matters in this is that honor be preserved.

I am presently seeing my eye doctor to get my prescription eye glasses
renewed. The way they are now, I cannot see anything much beyond 5 feet. I
have a pair of dueling pistols that I inherited from my grandfather. My God,
it does not matter to me whether I kill or be killed. The honor of dueling
with an equal is all that matters to me at this point in my life.

I will expect Tom Sherman do observe all of the niceties of dueling. If I am
killed I will want Jim McNamara to say an Irish prayer over my lifeless
body.

Ed, I suspect Tom Sherman does not know his ass from a hole in the ground.
He probably thinks the Fox River in northern Illinois is a proper place to
have a duel, but of course ONLY the Banks of the Ohio will do. The Ohio
River is sacred to Americans of the 19th century and I know that is pretty
much where Ed Dolan the Great lives. He HATES the freaking 20th century, let
alone the g.d. 21st century, and only wants to live and die in the glorious
19th century. Yea, he is a 19th century man!

But ideally he would like to go much further back where he could be a monk
in the Irish monasteries of the Dark Ages. There he would copy manuscripts
and lead a chaste life of the spirit only. Saint Edward the Great abhors the
fleshpots of modern America which Tom Sherman ever pursues like the lost
bozo that he is. If it is not my destiny to shoot him dead in a duel, then
the Great Saint Edward will say prayer or two for his immortal soul.
