Hi John, I've seen the signs pointing to DQ on my way outta town to the coast via the back ways, but I've never really thought about it much. I looked it up in wiki and google and such and it seems an interesting story, albeit a story that's coming to a close.
I hope I don't disappoint with the "quality" of my questions. I don't really think them through, just blurt whatever pops into my head at the moment. So far in the quest for "reasons for the moq discuss, I like yours the best! I think we all are looking for that connecting link to the center of our selves. Rest assured all, that other than that I have no particular axe to grind. I am intrigued by a person voluntarily going through a "personality upgrade". How is it working out so far?
