OK, the tire is back on and looks to be holding air. I got it done the next day and as others have said it's not a nice job since you can't get your hand inside to align things.
I got the valve stem as close to the rim hole as possible, then cheated a bit and pulled it thru a little with a needle-nose plier. Then I attached the screw on end from an old bicycle tire pump and was able to pull it thru the rest of the way. Then I aired it up and emptied a few times to try and get any wrinkles out. It probably helped a lot to use the tire lube in the picture. I put it on both beads and the rim bead surfaces. Also, and maybe this is what really helped, I brushed some on the inside circumference of the tube where it would be contacting the drop part of the rim. I think this stuff is better to use than soap and water because it's not supposed to rust the rims and probably more slippery than baby powder.
I also took mkirsch's advice and waited for the new moon on the 28th while holding my tongue just right!
