Jeremiah;

I was going to suggest that you whack the starter a few times with a BFH and
push the button again. And make sure you have the ignition switch ON. (Don't
ask me how I know about THAT hot tip.)

That possibly could be just a bit of dirt or "flash rust" from moisture in  
the air that has bound up the starter Bendix (assuming original type starter

here). It's worth pulling the starter and cleaning the drive as necessary,
but  
don't lubricate it once clean (except maybe sparingly with a dry graphite 
type  of lubricant)! Any oily lubricant will only attract dirt and make it
stick  
again....
