Thanks, to all who answered.

After I wrote the message last night, I took the bulb out. I noticed
that the light went on when I touched the bulb (either the metal or the
glass part) but then went off when I removed my finger. The bulb is
clipped in place similar to a fuse. One metal cap contact came off the
bulb when I removed it. I suspected a bad bulb.

Today I put in a new bulb. (More than $4 for a bulb!) The light works
fine today and tonight. That seems to have fixed it.

My question is why couldn't the service tech have suggested this to my
wife? Did they even check the bulb? This is supposed to be the best
service oriented "Honda President's Award" dealer in my area. So much
for good service.

After 3 previous Honda's with many hundreds of thousands of miles, my
wife and I cannot recall ever previously changing a dome light bulb.
Hmmmm.....
