Your clutch isn't releasing. Start the engine in neutral to build up
vacuum in the brake booster, then turn it off. Put it in top gear,
press in the clutch and stomp on the brake as hard as you can. Try to
start the car for an instant. If the clutch is just stuck to the
pressure plate or flywheel this should free it. If the car lurches
forward, then you have a problem. Since you say the pedal feels normal,
then the problem is not with the actuation of the clutch, the
transmission will have to come out.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
(But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)

Thanks guys, my mechanic confirms this as well. I am getting the clutch
replaced. Not bad seeing as though it has 345k miles and this was it's
first clutch!! (advantage of lots of motorway driving)
Merry Christmas.
