Anybody want to pick me up at DFW airport Saturday at 12:30 and drive me to pick up my car? (It’s been in the shop since the day I left for Mexico. A trained team of professionals have hopefully been undoing the damage done by a neighbor who crashed into Ye Olde Mitsubishi while it sat peacefully in my garage.)
I normally wouldn’t ask, but options 1, 2, and 3 have all backed out. Any pickup volunteers will be given a free lunch and first opportunities to hear all about my trip. Or, if that’s a drawback rather than an attraction, total driving silence.

I would offer to pick you up, but my company is moving offices on Saturday and we're all helping with the move. But, if you need a ride back from the airport some other time, drop me a line.

Wrong part of the country, I'm afraid. You're probably closer to me NOW than you will be when you get back. (Okay, not really.)
