Robocon x Olene

Last week, I asked Robocon if he'd be free to hang out when we were on Oahu. His answer (in more words) was: "Busy, lotsa family coming in, getting married to Olene!" So we said, "Congratulations, have a great week, and we'll catch you next time." Then he pulled a fast one and invited us to their reception at the Waikiki Yacht Club!


We didn't see Elmer Fudd, but we did see Kamen Rider V3 and Yongqin. V3 was helping out with taking pictures. What's up with Hawaiian bots and photography? We also met a bunch of relatives on both sides--all awesome people, and the makings of an awesome extended family.


So far, Giant Robot has been responsible for two weddings that I know of (one is mine). When Robocon made a short, informal speech, he mentioned how he and Olene met on the GR boards and pointed out Wendy and me. Part of me wanted to make a speech or toast, but I wimped out. Of course I thought of all these things I could have said as guests were leaving.


Morgan is Robocon's two-year-old niece. She's going to be an excellent pool skater, just like her dad, and she's totally down with cake. This was made at a place called Little Oven, and it was quite good. I had two-and-a-half slices. All the food was great, but it's always dessert that makes the final impression.

Tomorrow we attend the second wedding reception of our trip: this time, a cousin GR softball team alum!
