Wind Surge Games at Riverfront Stadium
Posted on July 29, 2022 by Ching under Things to Do.
I sometimes get baseball game tickets from my work. These are some pictures from the last one I was able to attend. The weather was a bit sketchy that day.
I ran into Danielle Dillon and Crystal Torres at the ballgame. It was a wonderful surprise as I feel like I haven’t seen these two ladies in ages.
The tickets we had were for the Fidelity Club, which included a buffet. The food was decent. I liked all the options that were available and the fact that you got dessert. Brian attended a game from the Coors Light Party Porch (I didn’t get to go to that one because of pickleball league) and he said the burgers and hotdogs were cold so this was definitely better.
The yummy bread pudding was my favorite part.
I also liked that it wasn’t crowded at the Fidelity Club that day, probably due to the weather. Anyway, I’m always grateful whenever I can get free tickets to these things. Until next time, GNG.

Wichita Wind Surge Ballgame
Posted on June 25, 2022 by Ching under Things to Do.
I finally got a chance to check out a Wind Surge baseball game (part of it anyway) earlier this week. Brian went a couple of times already. One time he was at the Coors Light Party Porch with Jenni and Adam and then another time he was in general admission with my Rotary club.
Here are some pictures they took at the Coors Light Party Porch, in case you are wondering what it’s like up there.
Here are some pictures from the Fidelity Bank Bravely Onward Club.
Brian said the food was better here because all they got were burgers and hotdogs at the Coors Light Party Porch. And no dessert, only cookies.
Besides getting fed, the best part of the ballgame was running into Danielle Dillon and Crystal Torres, both of whom I hadn’t seen in ages.
We had a great time at the ballpark despite the weather not being ideal.
Until next time, GNG.

Tulip Time at Botanica
Posted on May 8, 2022 by Ching under Things to Do.
Here are some video highlights from our recent trip to Botanica for Tulip Time.
I’m so glad we had the opportunity to see the tulips this year.
It was a little cold that day but we had a great time nonetheless.
We will have to do this again next year. Until next time, GNG.

More Coffee Adventures with Chris
Posted on March 30, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink, Things to Do.
Since I started going back in to the office the beginning of March, I’ve had the pleasure of going on coffee runs with my friend Chris Townley. We went to Mokas a few weeks ago and have also visited a few other coffee shops.
Sunflower Cafe is one of our favorites. It started as a coffee truck at the ICT Pop-up Urban Park, which is no more. To clarify, the Sunflower Espresso coffee bus still exists. It’s the pop-up park that’s gone — which makes me very sad because it used to be my go to place for lunch.
Anyway, here are some pictures from our Sunflower Cafe adventure…
The interior of the place is not huge but I’m grateful that you can at least go inside, unlike at Espresso to Go Go, where you have to stand outside in the cold to order and wait for your drink.
Above is a picture of their menu and below are the cafe hours and daily specials.
The coffee is good but my favorite thing at the cafe is their selection of Lovie & Co ICT handmade artisan chocolate bars. Brian doesn’t like all the stuff in it but I sure did. I bought a bar for us to share, so I picked one that I thought Brian would most like, but he prefers his chocolate bars unadulterated so I ended up eating all of it myself — which I was totally fine with, LOL.
If you’ve ever got a hankering for good chocolate (and coffee), you know where to go. Until next time, GNG.

Trying a New Coffee Shop
Posted on March 19, 2022 by Ching under Food and Drink, Things to Do.
I started working from the office two days a week starting this month. We were actually supposed to return to the office a couple of months ago but it kept getting postponed because COVID cases kept surging. Now that COVID has become endemic, things are starting to return to normal — somewhat.
Before the pandemic, I was working from the office five days a week. Occasionally, I would work from home if I wasn’t feeling well or if the roads were not drivable. I think our new normal, at least from the perspective of the department I’m in, will be working from the office a couple of days per week and remotely the rest of the time. For now, anyway.
My boss sent me a “Return to Office Survival Kit” care page which I think she sent to everyone a long while ago but I didn’t get until recently because I hadn’t been in. Every single item was so perfect and thoughtful but, as you might have guessed, I went for the chocolates first.
Honestly, what really helps me survive workdays are coffee runs and walks with my friend Chris Townley. It’s something that we hadn’t been able to do having worked remotely over the last couple of years. Now that we’re both back in the office, we have resumed our coffee runs.
We had to make up for the last two years and so we ventured out quite a ways for our first trip out. We walked all the way to Mokas, this new coffee shop by the Advanced Learning Library.
Here are some pictures of the cute interior.
By the way, Mokas serves food so you can get more than just coffee there.
This table would be perfect for Mexican train dominoes but it’s a tad narrow.
I’m always on the lookout for good tables for Mexican train dominoes. LOL. Anyway, I didn’t get to try it but the food looks good. Chris got a breakfast sandwich which he ate as we walked back to work. He said it was good.
I have trouble eating and walking — unless it’s a burrito or an ice cream cone — so I can’t eat unless we stay. We will have to go for lunch sometime when we have a bit more time to spare.
Food pictures next time. Until then, GNG.
