Haven’t seen this guy in WAY too many years, since just before he moved to the St. Augustine area in 2014. I tried a couple of times on my way through the area, but without success (my fault due to last minute notice both times).
So happy we finally reconnected f2f, and I can’t wait to get back there and see how he develops this property in Elkton where he now lives and is building his new business. As I said to myself as I pulled up, and to him… it’s SO Sebastien!

On the final leg of my road-trip I got to see this guy, the indomitable @davidhenry0407gmailcom, in Jacksonville Beach… the perfect stop-over on the way home from Raleigh.
Thanks for the great hospitality as always Dave, and for sharing a wonderful bottle of wine from @aquiliniwines 🍷

TRUST Simplified... TRUST is different from most things we earn. It is highly valued, but it can’t be bought, sometimes shared, but that window closes quickly when overused as it often is. It must be earned, but cannot be sold. Its lifespan will be as long as you are willing to nurture, respect, and care for it.
IMHO trust has a way of earning its own value and maintaining its own lifespan. Those who seek it, and want to keep it, have to live with that reality.

My latest book, heading into chapter 2 during my drive tomorrow and Friday from Raleigh to Jacksonville to Pompano Beach.
A contrarian yet highly engaging account of the spread of illiberal and anti-democratic sentiment throughout our culture that places responsibility on the citizens themselves.
Over the past three decades, citizens of democracies who claim to value freedom, tolerance, and the rule of law have increasingly embraced illiberal politicians and platforms. Democracy is in trouble--but who is really to blame?
In Our Own Worst Enemy, Tom Nichols challenges the current depictions of the rise of illiberal and anti-democratic movements in the United States and elsewhere as the result of the deprivations of globalization or the malign decisions of elites. Rather, he places the blame for the rise of
illiberalism on the people themselves. Nichols traces the illiberalism of the 21st century to the growth of unchecked narcissism, rising standards of living, global peace, and a resistance to change. Ordinary citizens, laden with grievances, have joined forces with political entrepreneurs who thrive
on the creation of rage rather than on the encouragement of civic virtue and democratic cooperation. While it will be difficult, Nichols argues that we need to defend democracy by resurrecting the virtues of altruism, compromise, stoicism, and cooperation--and by recognizing how good we've actually
had it in the modern world.
Trenchant, contrarian, and highly engaging, Our Own Worst Enemy reframes the debate about how democracies have ended up in this dire state of affairs and what to do about it.
