“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #1
The place I encounter on a regular basis and personally find most aesthetically beautiful is the softball field at Thomas More College. That might be kind of cliche considering I am a softball player, but it is a place I send time at and interact with more than most. It allows one to be entirely enclosed by the magnificent trees that block the views of the everyday traffic and chaos. It is often that I find myself there when needing to escape from reality. I have had some of my best and worst days at that field, which gives me a unique appreciation of it, when others may find it just a simple softball field.
