  Codenames is a fun 2-team word game that's a bit like Password but much more interesting and enjoyable for both the game itself as well as socializing with teammates. Years ago I used to play the table-top version but playing online is much better!
  You can play using your computer or your phone.

  Time: 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm MT

  (Optional) Register in Meetup:

   https://www.meetup.com/group-hsnm/events/

  (Computer steps: Tap "Log in" at top right, log in, scroll down to "Events" list, find the "Codenames Online" you plan to attend, tap on it, then tap Attend Online.)

  Players that are new to Codenames are very welcome.
  You can take a look at it here: codenames.game
  And you can practice here: codenames.game/daily

  But it's much easier to learn by doing and we're happy to teach.

  We have 5 committed Codenamers already. The minimum to play is 4 (2 per team) and virtually no maximum. So we'd like more players! This event is simply opening it up to all you humanists. We hope to reach at least 3 per team (total of 6).

  Start here: 

  We use Google Meet to communicate while we're playing.

  Here is the link: https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq

  If you're new to Google Meet, I recommend spending about 10 minutes ahead of start time to prepare and test your microphone and speakers. Video isn't needed.

  If you're on my invitation email list:

  You'll receive an email with two links sometime in the afternoon of the event. One is the link to the Google Meet meeting which never changes. The other is the link to the game itself which changes every week.

  Those not receiving my email reminders:

  You're totally welcome to join us. It's easy!

  Just join the Google Meet meeting using this link:

  https://meet.google.com/izo-rfpw-cwq

  Then, at game-time, I'll provide the link for the game itself.

  To be added to the email invitation list:

  Send a request to my email address: gstelle@gmail.com

  Fun addition: Add your own words!

  Once you see how the game works you're welcome to tell me words you'd like to see appear in the grid. I've been doing this already. That's how words like "SWAMP COOLER" and "HUMANIST" got there!

• NIGHT OUT: "Rhythmic Origins of Human Musicality" presentation + lunch

  • When
    Monday, August 10, 2026

    12:00 PM
  • Location
    107 W Palace Ave, Santa Fe

  ROAD TRIP! It's another "night out" in the afternoon. John R. Iverson, PhD, will speak on the "Rhythmic Origins of Human Musicality." This presentation is part of the Santa Fe Chamber Music lecture series, Insights on the Brain and Music.

  Dr. Iverson is an Associate Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Behavior at the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind at McMaster University. Sponsored by The Lensic, the talk will take place at the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe near the plaza at 12:00 noon.

  Tickets range from $30 to $40 depending on seating location and can be purchased here. Since seats are reserved, we won't be able to sit together. The talk will end at 1:00 p.m., leaving time to have lunch together at Henry and the Fish, a nearby restaurant at 217 W. San Francisco St, which is noted for "its coffee, breakfast and lunch, with options for various dietary needs, including vegan choices" (yay!).

  Please register here and indicate whether you can provide transportation or are looking for a ride. I will coordinate those answers to form carpools (which are actually at least half the fun of out-of-town trips!). Then purchase your own tickets to secure your spot for this intriguing presentation.

  Questions? Contact me at 505-350-2436 or huftrot@gmail.com. Thanks to Marjorie Churgin for finding us this opportunity! -- Charlene

  Join us at Quarter Celtic Brewpub to discuss everyday practical philosophy with other humanists over a beer or two (or your fav beverage). Every 3rd Wensday of each month.

  
  

  Bounce ideas off each other about life, your own or in general. Maybe throw in a bit of psychology, and of course humor too, as we enjoy sharing each other's points of view. Potentially enlightening! And you are engaging; you are participating in life.

  Come with a topic you'd like to talk about or just join the conversation.
  Religion and politics are okay if pertinent, objective and limited.
  An academic perspective, if you have one, is always welcome.
  
  We'll grab a table either inside or on the patio. Order a meal if you like. They have good Irish food. 

  You can just show up or, if you like, tell me you're coming using Meetup. To do so go to Meetup calendar. Then log in (top right). Then find the 3rd Wensday and tap on the event. Then tap Attend and go from there.
