Hey, you’re moving here? Good deal. We need more San Diego Dopers. So where are you going to live? I wouldn’t mind being the second Doper to meet you. Send me a note when you roll into town. ---

Hey Esprix- Be sure and post when you get into town, perhaps we’ll be able to get a San Diego Doper thing going. I’d be happy to be the third doper to meet you, and you could be my first 😉 ---

18 days! Woo hoo! **Falcon** , babe, I’ll just have to plan my next trip home during a Dopefest in the area again. 😉 **Greg** , **Shama** , we’ll have to have a mini-Dopefest when I get there. 😃 Esprix ---

Let’s see…eighteen days 'till **Esprix** _leaves_ Pennsylvania, ten days 'till I _move_ there. Someone’s got more to look forward to than me here. ---

Pennsylvania is the Land of Donuts? 😕 (I’ve been wondering what your .sig line meant, **Duke**.) And it’s not 18 days anymore - it’s 17. 😉 Esprix ---

Clearly you’ll have to plan your trips that way, hon. Either that, or I’ll make a Dopefest in yer honor. 🙂 You excited yet?? ---

**Esprix** : It’s actually just the States in general. I’m coming over from the UK. Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve had a decent donut? If you’re leaving in 17 days, the SDMB population of PA will be raised by one for only 7 days. That’s worth a countdown too. ---

Not that far from Delaware, apparently… (my commute to the mutual workplace is about an hour, but I don’t live on the border, either). And before you make any comments, **Esprix** , I managed to lockup my password, and it takes about 15 minutes to re-synch. I _AM_ working. 😛 So THERE. ---

\*\*Falcon, I’ve been excited for weeks. 😃 And I think once **waterj** gets into town I should have a SoCal Dopefest - whatchy’all think? **Duke** , ever had a Krispy Kreme? Mmmm… **Guin** , southern Delaware County, not too far from the airport. And **Hedra** , how do you know I’m not watching you right now? 😃 For the record, **Hedra** and I are meeting for lunch on Thursday at the company Christmas luncheon, and, yes, she’ll be the first Doper to meet me. Aren’t y’all jealous? 😉 Esprix ---

16 days, and so much more to do! Constantly collecting boxes, have to re-pack a few fragile items due to nervousness in shipping, still have to get rid of a few big items (car, workout machine, etc.), trying to figure out how much money I’ll have… ARGH! This is stressful. I’m going to mess up so much stuff. Esprix ---

Ugh Esprix, I so hear you… I believe I’m leaving the day before you (oldscratch arrives in RI the 27th, leaving the 28th I think) and I’ve done nothing yet! I don’t have as much stuff though; pretty much just me, my computer and some clothing are coming to Cali with me. If I can “make it” there, I’ll have the rest shipped. I’m sending you good luck packing vibes and all that… hang in there, it’ll be so worth it in the end! ---

San Diego’s a great place, nice and warm. I’ve been there several times, both positive experiences (saw the zoo, Sea World, and a military base). I hope you’ll like it there, Esprix. 🙂 ---

Hi, **Esprix**! Anyone want the real scoop on him? ::wicked grin:: Okay, okay, real scoop would be stretching it a bit, after an hour-and-a-half lunch conversation. But I still got to be the first! (I’m imagining my son’s general glee at being the first at something…) Just think of it this way - he’s even **MORE Esprix** in person. And that’s a compliment, by the way. Great to meet you, too bad you aren’t staying around. Good luck out there! ---

I know - tell me about it. I finally meet someone at work that I could hang out with (which has only ever happened twice in my entire working life, 14-or-so years), and I’m leaving. Ah, well - I have your e-mail address and, of course, the SDMB. (And where’s that .sig line, baby?) Oh, and did I mention? _ **14 DAYS TO GO!!! WOO HOO!!!** _ Esprix ---

Obviously you didn’t read this thread or that thread to know that we already caught that. Kinda old news. Too bad we’re not in the Pit so I can’t tell you to go take a flying fuck in a rolling donut. So I’ll just tell you to go away now. :rolleyes: Esprix [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/exprixs-california-countdown/44548.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/exprixs-california-countdown/44548.md?page=3)
