More About the Events - look what we've been doing!

Conversations at Greensboro's lunches are never-ending.  Those of us who take this interlude from bread-and-butter work have to drag ourselves back to work.  We've tried bringing the topic of BOOKS to the table, but the talk always leads into something else. Thus, a newcomer to Triad Mensa brought up the subject of Theater outings.  Another member posed the question: What are the pros and cons of conducting a business from one's home?  Another "regular" delights us with witticisms and puns, and his spouse fills us in with her involvement with clown costumes. Two members engaged in a ping-pong of conversation that almost got heated. A new member on another occasion listened intently as the "veterans" gave him an earful of The Mensa Experience! The topics are ever-changing and the opinions are just as varied.  Join us with your specialty. 

Thecond Thursday attendees vary from six to twenty persons. At the October meeting we were all thrilled at the sight of the fabulous new Triad Mensa newsletter, TM. Props to the editors, and all others involved in putting this together. I know that one of our conversations that night revolved around the origins of the mysterious “lorem ipsum.” As for the rest of the conversations, it was reported that we have a spectacular discount for printing at Office Depot. And, in anticipation of the holiday season, it was announced, "Honoring the tradition of our annual Non-Holiday Gathering, we will have no caroling, no names drawn for impersonal exchanges of cheesy gifts, no visits from pillow-stuffed men in fake beards pretending to be jolly, no table decorations painstakingly constructed using styrofoam hedge clippings, candy canes, and a hot glue gun." Instead we will toast to the season. You’ll have to join us to experience it all for yourselves. With colder temperatures on the horizon, the “Lodge” is a great place to cozy up to the fireplace. Please join us for our next Thecond Thursday!

Some of the games that we play are: Dominoes Mexican Train (a tile-color matching game), Sequence (another matching game, but with cards), Quiddler (a spelling game), Perudo (a bluffing game), Carcassonne (a landscape-design game), Great Dalmuti (something like musical chairs without the music). Sound simple? You bet! The charge we get is in the fellowship, so y'all come! Anybody have Scattagories or Trivial Pursuit? Please bring.
