Thanks to all who responded.  I feel really dumb.  No, I did not check the breaker, overlooking it like an idiot.  And, it was off.  And why was it off?  Because I had earlier turned it off, by accident.  I demonstrated to myself by reenacting what I had previously done, and it turned the breaker off again.

Dumb, dumb, dumb.  Oh well.  mcneely
