It turned out that it wasn't frozen only working v e r y s l o w l y. The update is complete and seems to be working fine.
The only problem I encountered was a blank Contacts file. I tried syncing it with my iPhone via the cloud. (iPhone first, then iPad) Didn't work. The file was still blank. iCloud can't link to my computer because I'm still using Snow Leopard.
This morning I hooked the iPad up to the MacMini via iTunes and added the Contacts. I was warned by iTunes that I might have duplicates since it was synced via iCloud. Didn't happen. I guess that is a generic warning attached to iOS 5 because my Mini couldn't connect to the cloud.
Anyhow, all is well for now.
Thank you for your responses.

turn your iPad into a brick. It doesn't start reloading the apps until
after the operating system upgrade is finished. You may have to reinstall
the apps that haven't completed restoring, yet, and I'm not sure, but you
might run a risk of missing data that you've saved in those apps. Maybe
someone else will know for sure about that. In either case, if you find
that you are missing data, the best thing to do is probably to just restore
it again. (You shouldn't have to reinstall the iOS 5, just restore the
backup that was made right before it upgraded, to bring all your apps and
data back again, hopefully without hanging up this time.) If it is still
stuck on the same app in the morning, I think you have no choice but to go
ahead and stop the restoration.
