Thank you all for your insight and help.
I began to try to fix it myself, but quickly became overwhelmed and realized I was in over my head. Called my mechanic, who lent me a remote starter for the weekend until I could get the car into the shop. Just as Ken wrote, the mechanic removed the whole ignition 'box', took it apart and showed me where two little teeth that were attached to the top of the gearset had broken off, which had the effect of disconnecting it from the ignition cylinder. He (the mechanic) replaced that particular piece, cleaned and lubed everything, put it back into place and Voila-- seems to be good as new.
I was having problems with my window switches too, so the mechanic gave me a new (used) window switch pack. The whole thing cost $140 (including the new window switch) and I learned a bit more about how my car works- so it was a pretty positive experience over all.
Thanks again.
Jocelyn
