Dining OUT at Tianluo Bistro, 11309 E. Kellogg.
2023-12-28 18:30 - 20:00
Reserved. We have not been back to Tianluo Bistro since we had lunch there in August. Now, I thought more of you would like to savor authentic Chinese food, not Mandarin, that they offer. You can see their menu at: https://www.tianluobistro.com/menu.

Guys Night OUT at J's Lounge, 519 E. Central
2023-12-29 19:00 - 22:00
Is it Tick Tock Day or Tic Toc Day? I knew I should have been taking notes. I choose Tic Toc Day: https://www.tiktok.com/@abstract_boy/video/7126668381259877638. We should be so lucky!

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2023-12-30 15:30 - 17:30
National Bicarbonate of Soda Day sounds a preventative thing, you know, proactive. However it’s also Bacon Day and after bowling we can go in search of a good bacon meal.

Video Nite/New Year's Eve Party at 932 N. Amidon
2023-12-31 19:00 - 22:00
Make Up Your Mind Day, or you can enjoy both, play cards and watch a movie. I can’t say that we’ll be up to watch the New Year come in. I’ll let you out at a decent hour, like 10 PM, to get home safely. Like Kyle used to say, to avoid the Amateurs. Times like this is when I wish I had a big smart TV and a streaming service to watch movies like: The Hottest Older Men Gay Movies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYjR7H2hVHo, Burnt Money | Watercolor Eyes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec3BVfTuvFk, Multigay | 2023 so far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye985Cc37Aw, Andrea & Daniele | Song for Zula https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zYEp5dG-cs, Niko & Igor | Lose My Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpCCqk67HmM, Pietro & Enea- You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me (Gay Themed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV-IMXjZ4DE, and Max and Santi – Everlasting Love (Gay Themed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njf8sBbJ6vs.

Senior Wednesday at Wichita Art Museum, 1400 W. Museum Dr.
2024-01-03 10:00 - 12:00
Although it’s Festival of Sleep Day, there are two exhibits which I would like to see, Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice. And Barbara Earl Thomas: The Illuminated Body. I wonder if 1400 Elderslie will be celebrating National Fruitcake Toss Day or National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day, with their complimentary pastries and coffee at 10 AM. Admission is free to Art Museum members and $2 for non members. I wonder if members get to eat all they want? For more information see: wam.org/event/senior-wednesday-winter-exhibitions.

Celebrations at The Old Spaghetti Factory, 1421 Waterfront Pkwy
2024-01-04 18:30 - 20:00

Breakfast With The Guys at Doo Dah Diner, 206 E. Kellogg
2024-01-06 09:00 - 10:00
For National Shortcake Day, we’re going to Doo Dah! It’s been like two years since we’ve been there. I read in the newspaper that the owner, Patrick Shibley, is battling metastatic prostate cancer, a threat that we can all relate to. So, we’re going to lend our support. They don’t take reservations, but she did list us, so they are expecting us. However, we should get there in time so we can all sit together as they get quite busy. You can see their menu at: doodahdiner.com/menu.

Pitch Night at Mike & Joe's, 921 N. Bebe
2024-01-10 19:00 - 22:00
I don’t understand why they pair Peculiar People Day and National Houseplant Appreciation Day together on the same day. One might say that it is Queer. However, if it’s Peculiar People that they want, they have come to the right place. But there is nothing peculiar about playing cards with your friends. And if you’re wanting to bring something to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar, it is also National Oyster Rockefeller Day and National Bittersweet Chocolate Day for suggestions.

Senior Thursday at Kansas Aviation Museum, 3350 George Washington Boulevard.

Bowling at Seneca Bowl, 1909 S. Seneca
2024-01-13 15:30 - 17:30
I don’t believe it, it’s International Skeptics Day and Make Your Dream Come True Day. What better way to celebrate than to go bowling, or go to watch. Here’s your opportunity to start that exercise resolution you made. Afterwards we may go to eat somewhere healthy to eat, but I doubt it.

Board Meeting at Country Cafe, 2408 S. Seneca
2024-01-15 18:30 - 20:00

2024-01-23 09:00 - 10:00

Pitch Night at Tracy's, 2904 Grail
2024-01-24 19:00 - 22:00
Where else can you find a nicer bunch of guys playing cards on National Compliment Day? It’s also National Peanut Butter Day which should make it even easier for you to decide what to bring to add to our favorite snacks and beverages bar.

Dining OUT at Bite Me BBQ, 132 N. St. Francis
2024-01-25 08:00 - 17:00
BMBBQ was suggested when I said it was National Fish Taco Day. Must be because it’s also National Opposite Day. You can find their menu at: bitemebbq.com/menu.
