Nick Rimando. The G.O.A.T. The Man. The Myth. The Legend. The holder of every goalkeeping record in Major League Soccer is retiring. Although there are two games left in the regular season and maybe, just maybe, a possible stab at post season playoffs, Sunday's home match will be the last time we will see Rimando stand in the goal box, a fixture sewn into the mind of fans. He will be missed but the soul of #RSL18 is forever etched in the RioT.

“If we learn nothing else from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.” — Sandy Dahl, wife of Flight 93 pilot Jason Dahl #america

It's official . . . On Saturday, my baby brother married his best friend and soul mate. It was a beautiful ceremony, delicious luncheon and delightful reception filled with family, friends, laughter and joy. After the rush of guests died down, Craig danced with my mom and Ashley danced with her dad. Once the bride and groom hit the floor, an impromptu dance party followed; I was a proud aunt as I watched my nephews tear up the dance floor with their killer hip/hop moves. (Oh, how I love and adore each one of them.) As the night sky began to twinkle with stars, an illuminated tunnel was formed as friends and family held sparklers from the steps of the house down to the end of the driveway where a car waited to whisk the newlyweds away. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. #crashley #9·7·2019 📷 photo credit: Lindsay Bailey

Nom de Plume

This is the Official Blog of T.B. Williams. It is a site dedicated to literature, reading, writing, editing, revising, thoughts, quotes, and all other passions I discover. Over time I will build a collection of literary thoughts, rantings and ravings, pensive moments, possible inspirations, positive and negative points of view, a bit of logic, a lot of ethical and moral implications, and all of the raw and prickly pathos based emotions that jump from my fingertips to the keyboard.
All posts are original. Some content can also be found on my Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Twitter accounts.

My life is simple. In fact, it is borderline boring. However, I am starting to embrace my lack of adventure. A bit of fun here and there is great, but I'm generally content with minimal, unadorned ventures. I love to read, write, teach (currently I'm teaching English 1010 and 2010 at the local community college), watch movies (both at home and in the theater), attend soccer games (Go RSL!), spend time with family and friends, and roast marshmallows for s'mores in our backyard pit.
