Haha! I guess it would best be written as Kwee-Kwayger. It's based on a character from Moby Dick (Ishmael's savage bosom buddy if you remember) and I stuck an -er at the end, mostly in case someone already took the name.

I was a local of Iowa for longer than anywhere else I've lived, which means about 8 years. I went to High School at LaSalle (when it was still around) and then Kennedy. After that I moved to Iowa City to go to school at U of I. My parents still live out in North Liberty (mom works in Cedar Rapids at McLeod and pops worked at UI and Mt Vernon until recently, and now works at a marketing research firm in Iowa City).

And yes, I made the drive from IC to CR countless times, brought back some memories it did. The whole Georgia thing happened when the Air Force tricked me! I thought I'd be going to Middle Eastern countries and far away places... but instead they plopped me down in Augusta, GA. I can't say it's that bad though, one more interesting place to live.
