I solved my own problem.   I just found it on MacFixit forums.  People are
going to want to know this just in case, because it's goofy.  I've noticed
my Universal Access prefs get changed somehow all the time.  Sticky Keys
turns itself on and it's annoying so I go in and turn it off.  Well, it
turns out that under the Mouse tab, "Mouse Keys" turns itself on also, so
when it's on, the number pad doesn't work.
