UPDATE...

Mechanical minded friend from across the street came over and after assessing my furnace explained that I needed to hold the red reset button until the green light blinked at me. (About 20 seconds-I'd been afraid to hold it that long for fear I'd flood the igniter chamber or something). Then, after a few seconds more, the pump kicked on, then died after about 13 seconds. He explained it was a fail safe built into the furnace to keep it from igniting without fuel in the chamber. He said if we repeat this process enough times, the fuel will get sucked into the pump and we'll hear the ignitors kick in. He said 40-50 times should do it. Or, we can just bleed the lines-which he did. It took about 1 minute for him to do this, the pump came on and this time stayed on.

We're nice and toasty...

He doesn't know it yet, but he and his wife will be enjoying a dinner at a local Red Lobster sometime in the near future.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
