May the Force Be With You

Saturday, 15 October was the Halloween Dance at the LDS Institute. Itfelt a little early in the month for costumes, but I couldnʼt resist. Idressed up as my hero, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

This year I was more specific than I have ever been. I was Obi-WanKenobi as played by Ewan McGregor in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.I started growing a beard three weeks in advance. I studied countlesspictures so I could part my hair in the right place.

All my preparation paid off. I won the prize for “most authenticcostume” at the dance. I was freaking elated. And I got a Snickers.

The best part is that I get to do it again on the 31st.
