As soon as I saw the quote - which was upwards of two grand for six months - I began the process of shopping around. It was a short process. As soon as I went to GEICO's website, I was floored by how low the number was. I matched the coverage to what I previously had with Progressive, and it was about 70 percent less than what Flo's company wanted from me. I was even still able to get the "good driver" discount because the damage from my accident was a sufficiently small amount. As I was doing this research, my brother dropped by. I asked him who he was with for car insurance, and he said "well, I was with Progressive for a long time, but I recently switched to GEICO." That sealed it; I bought the policy, and cancelled with Progressive the next day. I'll give them a tiny bit of credit; I was pleasantly surprised at not having to argue or suffer through a sales pitch when I made the call to cancel. I'm pleased with the service I've received thus far, and it's nice to be under the protection of the gecko, the caveman, the googly-eyed stack of money, and the deep-voiced guy who asks rhetorical questions. All in all, it's a good place to be, and certainly far better than where I was (and would have been) had I maintained the status quo.

The one in the arena...
I spend most of my early weekday evenings Tweeting about Jeopardy!. While it's fun to opine and/or snipe from the sidelines, it was quite another…

You are here... and you are home.
