F21 - WiFi not connecting

I get home from a fun ride on Amtrak - Chicago to Detroit, 2 hours 
delayed to a plowed in car (importance here is I was on the Amtrak 
WiFi).  Came out of suspend mode and connected to my WiFi with no problem.

Then no WiFi.  It will not connect.  I tried restarting NetworkManager, 
the interface.  Both restarted the authentication which failed.  I 
pulled out the trusty ethernet cable to get connected.  I am current on 
patches.  Here is what journalctl shows me for one of the failed 
connections:

Any idea where to troubleshoot this one?

It won't connect to my smartphone MiFi either.  Tried that.  And at 
first my SSID disappeared from the list of found SSIDs.  I checked from 
my phone which had no problem connecting to my local WiFi, so it is the 
F21 system.  After restarting NetworkManager, my SSID again appeared in 
the list.
