Hello, everybody.

We just learned that Inn of the Governors will have table service for the daily breakfast (beginning at 6:30 a.m.) instead of the buffet we’ve been used to in the past. (Lunches will still be buffet-style.) So please keep in mind that a quick hit-and-run breakfast won’t be possible. We were advised to allow 45 minutes. We’ll need to take that into account so we can arrive in the lobby at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday to carpool to the Santa Fe Institute. The rest of the week will be easier since the meetings will be in a conference room next to the dining area.

We have always found the service at the inn to be first-rate, and we expect the same this year. However, in light of the post-pandemic staffing crunch, the management has asked for our patience about any glitches that might occur.

We’ll go over this again briefly on Monday night when we first see you all.

Safe travels!
