I took this shot this afternoon near where I live in Ajax. Before very long, the snow will be gone, and the ground will be dry enough for human activity to return to this setting. Teams of various ages will be on the field, developing skills, learning teamwork, and building memories. Then there are those who will park themselves on these benches, some of whom may be reconvening from the hockey arena. In other words, what you see here is not just a baseball field, but a social medium. Maybe the social media we tend to think of–online–are best thought of as extensions and supplements to the physical spaces where we (continue to, I hope) meet and interact.
