It's Good To Have Goals

In honor of the start of the semester, I am sharing a couple of goals that I have.

1. Get a submission accepted to the faculty/staff art show.
I'm hoping to paint a self-portrait, under Kevin's tutelage. I'm not a painter. He is.
Last year, many of the show entries were photographs. And really, how difficult is that?

2. Win the faculty/staff Halloween costume contest.
I have a partner picked out (Prent Prohnson) - but am lacking a good idea for two guys.
So far, I've thought of Mario and Luigi.
Any suggestions?
