Thanks guys for taking the time to advise. I fumbled with the thing more this afternoon. The battery seems good, if full lights and blasting the radio is still possible means anything. The battery ground is okay. The connections to the solenoid are clean (I took the terminals off). I was able to bump-start shoving it out of my driveway. I parked on a hill for the night. I'll stop by my parts store and maybe the dealer tomorrow. I'd rather not be parking on hills for days! I could possibly get a new starter/solenoid for $140 or less. Might be worth it.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
