I do have that line. I *added* the other line showing the 
simpaticus.localdomain name.

My mistake there... /home/rpaiz was not executable, and when checking 
permissions I forgot that one. Rather than opening up the directory even a 
little, moved the vhost to the /var/www/ subdirectory. So now I have:

  * Default vhost: "localhost" at /var/www/html/
  * Other vhost: "simpaticus" at /var/www/www.simpaticus.com/

Still no joy. Really contemplating starting from scratch, getting it to 
work with a hand-written httpd.conf and then retrying. Also, not sure that 
name recognition is working properly... perhaps when I type "simpaticus" 
into the URL field in Mozilla it's not telling Apache the right thing?
