Hello, HQ! Long time, no write. Sorry ‘bout that. I was out on top-secret SIU business, as discussed in my last communiqué.

As you know, I went all over the country. Think my cover may have been blown, as I met quite a few people who recognized me, especially in Denver. (I have always loved the Mile High City!) Thanks to everyone across the country—from New York to Texas to California, and all parts in between! I really appreciate the support you’ve shown me in person and via email. It means a lot to a busy gal like me.

Regarding my favorite topic: the mysterious stranger. I’ve been making some progress on the vocal analysis I mentioned previously. Some of our best technical people are reviewing my audio files and Erin Cam. I really wonder who that guy is?!?! I mean, I HAVE TO KNOW from a work perspective. (As a secret agent, you should be wary when someone keeps showing up all the time. Like I need to tell you that….)

I hope he’s not one of the bad guys. He’s been so nice when I’ve bumped into him. I really don’t think he’s one of the baddies. Or, I don’t want to think so…. He’s kind of…”cute,” for lack of a better, more spy-like word. I really shouldn’t even mention that in a report to you, HQ. Can’t help it.

But come on, it’s more than coincidental, isn’t it? And, he’s always talking about auto insurance!! Does anyone really do that? I mean, I’m fascinated by auto insurance because I work for Esurance, but I know that most people would rather get auto insurance and never think about it again.

Times I have seen him in random settings to refresh your memory (You can view these in the archive and I’ll be re-broadcasting some of them to jog your memory):

1. I saw him when I bought that getaway car.
2. I ran into him again when I was surfing at Ocean Beach.
3. I made a quick getaway from those pesky bad guys and landed IN HIS APARTMENT, of all places.
4. I bumped into him—literally—at a baseball game.
5. And then, I saw him AGAIN when I was busy taking out that tree-killing robot.

If I do see him again, I’m going to play it cool, be friendly, and NOT draw attention to the fact that we keep meeting over and over again. The really eerie thing is, he sounds a lot like the same voice I hear when I send or receive audio transmissions.

Speaking of audio transmissions, when you get mine, make sure you listen closely for proper authentication. I’m not worried, I know you know who I am.

Anyway, there’s someone on the airwaves trying to act like a secret agent! Not doing a very good job of it, just probably one of the annoying bad guys up to their old tricks again.

How many times do I have to catch them trying to steal our trade secrets? I guess one more will have to do. Job security.

In other news, I’m staying closer to home for a while, but you still might see me all over the U.S. on shorter missions. I will definitely head up to the mountains soon. Think there may be enough snow for some boarding.

I’ve also gotten some rather sinister reports. Apparently, the bad guys are up there again! Eyeing more trees to cut down for all their insurance documents. As if their tree-killing robot wasn’t enough! Thank goodness for Esurance’s electronic documents. I’d hate to airdog where there’s no trees. (And, for all you boarders out there, I’m no Betty.)

Until my next report, you know the drill: drop me a line on my secure email. In the meantime, drive carefully, and remember: if you’re on the go, you’ve gotta have Esurance.
