[Rhodes22-list] Weary Traveler / Traveler Weary

We persist and insist and exist because of the kindness of some strange

We are possessed as opposed to being possessors.  I suppose we are simple custodians on Stan's art.  If you own a priceless VanGogh, the painting may be on your wall, but it will forever be Vincent's.

Stan lets us hold these gems with the understanding that , in the end, "all Rhodes lead to Stan." It's a pleasure to be part of that equation.  Happy eating and drinking season.
