Thanks guys! Found it in a suitcase I forgot to unpack. Also found Mr. Macska's tie & book which he has been looking for. ooops I won't make today's flight, but I was able to switch to tomorrow for no charge.

For future reference, I discovered that you can get a passport issued in 4-6 hours if you live near a passport agency, such as in BOS. Here's a link I hope you never have to use:
