Interesting catch

Today I caught some baby Northern Pike. I had never caught pike before, and was sort of glad I had only caught a baby one. Pike are fish that have teeth and they are not the best looking fish in the world.

Hopefully they don't get that big where we are.

I also did some kayaking today. I had a goal of getting over to coves on the opposite side of our pond/lake and I did.

I also went cycling today and did something a little bit different by exploring new roads and new places rather than just going on the same roads over and over again. I found several baseball diamonds for little league that I didn't know existed. One of them looks like it hasn't been used since Bad News Bears came out.

My favorite thing about summer is going on a run, bike ride, hike, car ride, boat ride etc. and exploring new places. It's amazing what things are really close by, but that you don't know about. One thing I highly recommend is just breaking your routine and exploring.

Today was one of the days that I just decided to do that. I typically bike the same route or couple of routes every time I go so I get a feel for how fast I went and whether or not I am improving my speed or whether or not I was too slow etc. Today part of my route was blocked for construction so I just decided to make up for that by going to new places. I'm glad I did.

Finally, I believe Meghan Schnur plays for MagicJack in WPS...their roster and information is not all that good so I can't confirm, but I believe she plays with them.

Brittany Taylor has an assist so far this season.

Niki Cross has played in four games for the Boston Breakers.

Kristen Graczyk retired from WPS.

That's your update for UConn in the WPS.
