Actually, it did it again this morning and I paid closer attention.. it's 
not just a dead click.. the starter spins with the familiar WHIRRR but 
doesn't engage the flywheel.  Try it a few more times, and I get it to 
crank.  Try it again, WHIRRR.. again, CRANK.

I'm just unsure if this is a wear issue or a general cold issue.. ;-)
