My day begins with reading the Minneapolis/Star Tribune online. Today the sports page was filled with print about the Vikings. Even the University of Minnesota men's basketball team got significant coverage, after getting blown out by Purdue. The University Women's team, who won last night, not even the score was in the paper.
Sunday, the women played Maryland who are ranked #7, nationally. Minnesota took this ranked team to two overtimes, eventually losing 99-100. Minnesota was up by 9 points in the second overtime before losing by a point. All the press dwells on is that Minnesota lost after leading by 9. Totally ignored is the outstanding performance of an unranked team taking #7, to overtimes. That's a major accomplishment and indication of a bright future for the Minnesota Women.

Contrast this picture of Mt. Fuji with the one posted yesterday. Taken at dawn, the tents of our camp are barely visible in the foreground.
