HIKE: Bosque Autumn (Wednesday, October 28, 2026)

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 16:00:00 GMT

*Please carefully read the entire posting before signing up.*

bos-que n (Sp): the riparian habitat and flood plain along a river

fall col-ors n: the seasonal display of vivid, warm coloration from the chemical changes to the chlorophyll in the leaves of deciduous plants.

Come join me for a walk along the Rio Grande bosque to enjoy the fall colors! Our starting place will be the Alameda Open Space parking lot. We’ll walk along the Alameda acequia north to a footbridge and then loop back. It’s about 3 miles and we’ll move at a constitutional pace of around 1-1/2 to 2 miles per hour.

Please keep cell phones silenced during our hike.

NOTE: Hiking involves risks. You need to be sufficiently fit and properly equipped with poles, hiking boots, sun-protective clothing, water, nutrition and sunscreen. You are responsible for your own safety.

CANCEL: The promise of rain or adverse weather and road conditions will cancel this event.

IMPORTANT: If you sign up, please remember that the leader has you on a list and you have a responsibility to keep him informed of your plans so as not to cause delays and confusion on the day of the hike if you don’t join us at the meeting place. This can be done by text or call to his phone or comments on the Meetup posting.

Codenames Online (Thursday, October 29, 2026)

Fri, 30 Oct 2026 00:30:00 GMT

HNM Events Calendar

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!

Member Potluck & Hallowe'en Party (Saturday, October 31, 2026)

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

October's fifth Saturday falls on -- gasp! -- Hallowe'en! What a fine time for a potluck and evening together, away from the trick-or-treaters in your neighborhood in the quiet Corrales boonies. The site is Charlene Baker's home.

Costumes are encouraged, but food is definitely requested. Please sign up on the website and indicate what food you plan to bring. The earlier you respond, the better chance to bring what you prefer to contribute. (Somebody please bring pumpkin pie!)

The theme will be My Most Memorable Hallowe'en -- best, worst, silliest, most unique, etc.

Contact Charlene at huftrot@gmail.com or (505)350-2436 with questions. Her address will be sent to all respondents before the event. See you there!

UNHOLY ROLLERS BOWLING SIG (Wednesday, November 18, 2026)

Wed, 18 Nov 2026 20:00:00 GMT

Join the Unholy Rollers the third Wednesday of every month at Silva Lanes on Eubank. Just show up at the front desk and look human. A bowling angel will find you and direct you to Bowling Salvation! Approximate cost: $8-10. No skill required. IT'S BOWLING!

Pondering at the Pub (Wednesday, November 18, 2026)

Wed, 18 Nov 2026 22:30:00 GMT

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.
