Where were you when the first iPad Launched?

 It is Friday and Fridays are for fun and I will admit that I love my iPad(s) and yes you read that correctly I have two of them.  I wish selling houses could be like selling iPads and that I could just list a home, have a press conference and people would stand in line to buy it.

I preordered the my first iPad before I had ever even seen one and I won a new iPad2 last year in a photo contest. 

I digress . . I remember what it was like waiting for that first iPad to be delivered and how everything sounded like a Fedex truck that day.

This is what I wrote:

“Through out the day I developed a new awareness of how much traffic there is on our tiny little three block long street that dead ends a short distance from my house.

School buses sound like FedEx trucks and there were a zillion of them out there last Friday.  UPS trucks sound just like FedEx trucks as do the trucks driven by the numerous repair and service people who visited our street last Friday.

By noon everything sounded like a FedEx truck.  The man on the mountain bike that went speeding by, the dog snoring as she slept and even the birds that were singing in the lilac bush. I became acutely aware of the sounds that I have not really heard in years.  The kind of background noise that is part of city life.

My new toy arrived as I was locking the front door and getting ready to leave for a series of appointments that would take several hours.  I got to unwrap it and touch it but didn’t get to play with it until later that evening. I would describe it as a content consumer rather than a content generator.  My blog looks mighty nice on it but so far I have not been able to use it to create a blog post but I was able to make a pretty picture, test some real estate apps and read my free copy of Winnie the pooh which was nice because it arrived on a Friday and Fridays are for fun.
