My favorite part of being a member of Mensa is the opportunity to have intelligent conversations. If someone starts discussing dragonflies, (not an arbitrary example), I know she will have something worthwhile to say. When I want to say something about Sherlock Holmes, people will know who that is without any further explanation. If an explanation on a more esoteric subject is necessary, members will understand the explanation.

A friend dared me to take the Mensa test because she thought I’d “ace” it (in her words). When the invitation arrived to join Mensa, I joined. The first thing I did was to attend a First Friday event. I was nervous, but the people I met welcomed me with warmth and enthusiasm, and I had a blast talking with new acquaintances about jokes, puns, science fiction, writing, and cosmology. I’d found my people!

When I joined Mensa following my divorce in 1992, I was hoping to meet intelligent, single women and, indeed, I did. I’ve become friends with many Mensa women in the 30 years since, and a few of those became close relationships. Mensa has also provided me with a continuing connection that has helped me feel welcome when moving to a new city for work in North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Minnesota. I’ve enjoyed attending Annual Gatherings in 1998 (Cincinnati), 2000 (Philadelphia), 2003 (St. Paul), 2005 (New Orleans), and 2008 (Denver).
