Pork in Rosemary Wine Sauce recipe

I recall a recipe in Food and Wine that I made in the late 80s or early 90s for sauteed pork scallops with rosemary in wine sauce. I had a hankering to cook that the other night and found the recipe on line. It's a fairly easy recipe to make. It tasted as good as I remembered it.

Don't Raise My Ordinary Overcall on a Doubleton

Hypothetical auction: I overcall RHO's 1C with 1H, LHO bids 2C. Don't raise me to 2H with only two hearts, even if you have an honor. My overcall is to some extent predicated on the expectation that you have at least two card support.

Ordinary Men as Heroes vs Superheroes

Yesterday, in Pastor Nate's sermon at KPC he mentioned the transformation in popular culture in the 1930s and 40s from "ordinary man with ordinary talents" as hero to "man with super powers" as hero. He also mentioned that in the first weekend The Dark Knight movie grossed as much as The Fellowship of the Ring in it's run. It led me to think that the Lord of the Rings series is a perfect example of "ordinary man as hero". The hobbits are very mundane in their interests, but when thrust into a quest for good against evil they rely on their faith and character to persevere and get the job done.

Macworld Expo Impressions

1. No upgrade to iPhone hardware is imminent, so I think I'll be getting one pretty soon. The software upgrades look great.
2. AppleTV 2.0 and the price drop have me considering one, which I find surprising. Not for a while, though.
3. iTunes movie rentals are nice, but not thrilling.
4. MacBook Air looks like a well-engineered laptop, but I wonder if there's enough of a market for it at that price.

Kind of an average keynote, I guess.

AAPL isn't getting it's usual bounce from the keynote. In fact, it's down 11.57 at this moment.
