Hi again to all you folks at HQ. Hopefully, my report is getting to you sooner than my last one. It's tough writing these things when I have to deal with my day job (insurance agent) AND my evening work (ridding the world of bad guys). No complaints. As I always say, "duty calls."

My deep cover has been even more interesting than usual lately. The great auto insurance company I work at, Esurance, is always busy making the world safe for fast, easy, affordable auto insurance.

But lately, Esurance has been making the world even safer...by pitching in for some worthy causes. Like social services for urban youth, the fight against HIV-AIDS, and showing Pride in lots of locations across the country. (Please be sure to give a big hello to all our friends across the country, but especially everyone in Amarillo, Atlanta, Austin, Orlando, San Francisco, & Seattle!) And did I mention Esurance's efforts to support tree planting?? (That reminds me: I've got to research that weird report about forests disappearing.)

So, on to spy stuff. MYSTERY MAN: I promised to find the ErinCam archive tape so I could show you that cute guy. (I guess I should professionally refer to him as the mysterious stranger who appears everywhere.) Just to refresh your memory: as you know, for my secret agent gig, I'm usually keeping tabs on the bad guys. Obviously, this has gotten me into quite a few jams. All in a day's work!

Well, as you can see from the archive tape from ErinCam, I was looking into that helicopter-corporate espionage report I told you about last time. Suffice to say, I found that helicopter!!! That was a close one for sure! I narrowly escaped calamity by jumping in through the sliding door of some stranger's apartment...

Turned out, it was HIM—again!!!! He's pretty nice, but sure has a lot of questions about auto insurance. (Thankfully, I work at Esurance!) And, he has actually helped me out a few times now, so I don't think he's one of the bad guys-- but you never know...a girl in my line of work can't be too careful! That's why I pulled the archive tape. To show you how nice he was and maybe get your help identifying him. For official purposes only, of course.

He has a great apartment. Not that I got to stay long!!! That chopper showed up and I had to get gone. Jumped out the window. Think that probably gave the poor guy a heart attack! He seemed pretty calm throughout the whole thing, though. Surprising since I basically broke into his apartment and was being chased by maniacs in a weird whirligig machine. (On jumping out of windows: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Luckily, I was equipped with my Jackpot-the-Cat backpack, the one that opens up into a handy escape chute.)

Anyway, I guess I feel guilty, as I kinda like him showing up all the time. It can be lonely being an insurance agent by day and a secret agent at night. I hope the fact that he's cute isn't clouding my judgment. I am a secret agent, after all. It's really weird that he keeps showing up all the time...as if our paths are meant to cross.

Kismet, I guess. Like I said, he's been nice so far. Even helpful! I know that more than a few of you think he's one of the bad guys, but he's had a few opportunities to do me wrong...and he hasn't. Really. PLEASE REVIEW THE TAPE before you say any more about him.

Well, as usual, if you have any input on the above topics, let me know. As always, you can communicate with me on my secure email.

FYI - I won't be at the office for a week or so. Top secret missions call me away. DEEP COVER. Have to visit a few baseball stadiums, disappear into the forest to check out the disappearing trees...may even have to do some racecar driving training abroad. If I don't get back to you right away, that's why. As always, I'll try to post answers to your questions here in my report.

Until we meet again, remember: if you're on the go, you've gotta have Esurance. And that also reminds me: I've never met you. Feel like I know you. When are we going to meet?
