Ah, Rudy’s Tenampa in Lenexa. There’s special Happy Hour drinks and appetizers AND a pretty damn wonderful dinner menu chock full of Mexican specialties!

Coffee Talk @ Denny's
2025-07-09 10:00 - 11:30 | Denny’s in Merriam, KS, 9001 Shawnee Mission Parkway, Merriam, KS, 66202, United States
Now a couple of things about this Denny’s on Shawnee Mission Parkway. First off, the wait staff absolutely loves us! Second, they give us a private room. Pretty cool, huh? Sure, it’s not haute cuisine but that doesn’t matter. There’s plenty of reasonably priced breakfast/brunch dishes on the menu. We usually have a great crowd here and the conversation is lively. You’ll enjoy it. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by getting the latest flu and Covid vaccines. Let’s stay healthy together. Thank you.

Hmmm. Maybe instead of a witty write up, I should just whet your collective appetites! So, here goes:
Kabobs, Gyros, Shawarma Sandwiches & Platters, Falafel & Hummus, Spanakopita, Grilled Shrimp & Feta, Dolma, Tzatziki, Tabouli & Fattoush Salads, Curry Chicken plus a whole heckava’ lot more!
So, there ‘ya go. Toss in Baklava for dessert and it’ll be a great night! And, as my good friend Yosif says, “انضم إلينا للحصول على طعام رائع وأصدقاء!” (Join us for great food and friends!)

Contract Bridge Night
2025-07-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Jim and Sam’s home, 9708 Lee Boulevard, Leawood, KS, 66206, United States
So, before we chat about bridge, did you know that contract bridge has its origins in the 16th Century? And, about 15 million Americans age 45 and over know how to play and about 5 million of them play at least a few times a year. Kinda’ nifty, huh? Now my exposure to this game started when I was a mere lad. My folks loved the game and attempted to teach me to play. Unfortunately I was more eager to continue my clandestine assignation with GI Joe and Ken (stolen from my sister) who were carrying on a torrid affair unbeknownst to poor Barbie (also stolen from my sister). But enough about that. Back to bridge. PTKC has a monthly bridge group on the second Thursday of each month. Games are held at Jim Wright’s home and, even better, all skill levels are welcome to join in. Want to join the game? Just keep an eagle eye out for the Punchbowl invitation from Jim!
Same stuff about vaccines, guys. Be aware, please, of your respective vaccination status and let’s keep everyone healthy.

Lunch at Pegah's Restaurant - Shawnee
2025-07-11 12:00 - 13:30 | Pegah’s on Johnson Drive, 11005 Johnson Dr, Shawnee, KS, 66203, United States
Ah, the appeal of Pegah’s in Shawnee. Sure, the food is pretty darn good and plentiful. Yeah, the coffee is hot and reasonably potent (I’m lookin’ at you, Denny’s!) and we get a semi-private (well, sort of) back room. But the real charm of the place is when our favorite waitress snarls at us, “Hey old men – are you ready to order?!” You cannot put a price on that.
Clearly we really like this eatery as evidenced by the fact we all tend to hang around way past 1:30. We have a large crowd of PTKC’ers every Friday so it’s worth the jaunt. Parking can be a little tight but you’ll find a space – not to worry. So, join us!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, we encourage you to protect yourself and fellow Prime Timers by staying current with your vaccines. Thanks, guys.

PTKC Mixer - At Missie B's & Dinner
2025-07-11 17:00 - 18:30 | Missie B’s, 805 W 39th St, Kansas City, MO, 64111, United States
30 years ago, Missie B’s opened as a gay owned and operated piano/karaoke bar. Since that humble beginning it’s become a leading gay KC hangout with special entertainment and drag shows. It’s not just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience! So, join your fellow KCPT’ers to celebrate the end of the week and the start of the weekend. Maybe grab a few pals and head out for dinner at some point. We keep it loose and easy (hey, no jokes!) and we’ll see ‘ya there!
Gentlemen, as a reminder, stay healthy, please! Vinny our PTKC Vaccine Fairy knows all!

Tour of J. Rieiger & Co Distillery & Dinner at Knuckleheads!
2025-07-12 17:00 - 19:30 | J. Rieger Distillery, 2700 Guinotte Ave, Kansas City, MO, 64120, United States
Now this should be fun! We’re booking a one hour tour of the famous J. Rieger Distillery in the West Bottoms followed by dinner at Knuckleheads. Founded in 1887 by Jacob Rieger, it is still managed by a great-great-great grandson and Andy Rieger is the youthful CEO. In 2014, Rieger quit his job in Dallas and moved back to Kansas City, took a leap of faith and spent $20 million on resurrecting the distillery. I don’t know about you, but for a young guy, that’s damn impressive! After the tour (for those who can still stand upright) we’re hoofing it across the street to Knuckleheads for dinner.
We are doing the one hour private Heritage Tour at 5 PM. It includes a tasting of their four core spirits. We’ve purchased 18 spaces and we ask you gents to pay us before the tour. The per person amount is $30.00. You guys know the drill; cash or checks are fine. Plastic? Just get in touch with our esteemed Treasurer, Doug Pittack. Just please remember that if you buy a ticket and are unable to attend, we are cannot refund the amount. Oh, last thing. J. Rieger asks that we only wear closed toe shoes during the tour – no sandals.
Keep a sharp eye out for the Punchbowl invite on this one!
