I Think, therefore, iPad?

We here at Sally J headquarters love technology. Mr. Sally J and I tote laptops to Thanksgiving dinner. Our kids navigate our iPhones better than some adults. I don’t know how we got this way, but somehow we did. So of course it was only a matter of time until we got an iPad.
