We are so happy to be able to report that the inaugural "Murrieta Rumble" was a huge success! By now you must know that our hosts were Jim And Chris Sage (56) and when combined with Denise and yours truly, made for a perfect 4 person rumble. The Sage's Vermont home is now a distant memory (not really, and it is very well documented both pictorial and in story form, honest! ) and their condo in Palm Desert is on the block as well. So Denise and I had a wonderful time visiting their newest home or perhaps complex would be more appropriate. They moved in just four months ago and work is already underway for major expansion in multiple directions

which also may include a pool or a garden and even a building or two. Whatever their home is now and/or will be in the not to distant future, it is very beautiful, spacious, and obviously impressive. And as usual, I'm always amazing at how much fun you can have with dear friends and classmates and the addition of Chris's great meals and plenty of wine was the topping on the cake. Denise and I had a super time and really appreciated their hospitality."
