Sparing you a lot of useless back story here, but for fun a for
personal amusement (NOT for serious work), I'd like to start learning
a programming language.  If I'm gonna learn one, I might as well learn
something that gets a lot of use in the open-source world.  So which
one to choose?  C or C++?

C is easy to learn and it's possible to master it very quickly.  Many languages (esp. C++) have been based on its ideas and syntax.  I recommend starting there.  Good books will have titles like "C for Dummies" or "Learn C in 21 days."

I might also add that one very useful resource on linux is the GNU libc manual.  For some types of projects, you won't need anything more than this:
