Subject: Stephen Harper addresses Conservative senators in before Parliament resumes, L'ADQ dit ne pas faire de récupération politique avec les dossiers chauds du moment

Dear Paul,

The change in weather is definitely affecting my mood. It took a few days to notice, but I think that there is a link between the smell of autumn in the air in the mornings, the fact that I have to wear long sleeves while cycling to work, and a mild feeling of depression that has been lurking about me. As these seasonal changes commence I always think more about directions, where I'm going in life, etc. etc. You know how it goes.

I hosted a small dinner party last night, Jen and Nick and Sarah R. and Mohanad, Jara and Safi all came over and we had squash soup that Sarah had made and lots of breads and dips and tahbouli (sp?). It wasn't a very late night but I was exhausted by the end of it anyway. All the last-minute vacuuming and cleaning beforehand did me in. Do you stress out and run around the house like a madman before guests come over?
