Update: not a hit and run!  Sorry I made it sound like it was.  Don't know 
much else yet but teeth are not scattered on the road -- the front ones 
all at least look normal, and she can talk.  They're "busted up" in some 
way though.

I'm about to board a flight departing New York at 15:55, arriving Detroit 
at 17:20.

Really appreciate the flood of support and offers to help!
This may seem like a ridiculous time to bring up yootles but there are 2 
things that Erica and I could use help with and rather than pick at random 
from the effusive offers (and thanks again for that; y'all are awesome!)
could those of you who offered repeat them to my cell phone 
(dreeves-now &AElig umich.edu) with a number of yootles it would cost you to
   1. Drive Erica to her car in Chelsea
   2. Pick me up at the airport
Neither of these are necessary and I know those who are around are 
thrilled to do it and if you haven't grokked the point of the yootles 
thing yet, just email my phone with, in words, how much hassle it would be 
to do that and we'll take one of you up on it and give you some yootles to 
boot!

Thanks again, everyone!

PS: Lisa, thanks for your update!  And the offer to drive up from 
Cleveland!  That's clearly beyond the yootle cost threshold at
this point :)

  If you're ever selling your house, and some people come by, and a big
  rat comes out and he's dragging the rattrap because it didn't quite
  kill him, just tell the people he's your pet and that's a trick you
  taught him.
