About 2:40 this morning, Natalie and I both smelled smoke. We checked the kid's rooms, the attics, the basement, everywhere but we couldn't find anything burning. The smoke alarms didn't go off. It was weird. We went outside and it looked hazy and the smell was really strong but we still couldn't see anything. There were some sirens going off but they were too far away to be involved in whatever we were smelling. The next day, Colleen told us the Dunkin Donuts up on Belair Road burned down during the night. That's a couple blocks away from us. I wonder if we knew it was burning before the fire department did. There hasn't been a peep about it on the TV news or in the newspaper.

Patrick had his 11th birthday party at Howard & Dolores today. Natalie, Matthew and I went and had a great time. Howard put a new pool in that's bigger and deeper than the last one. Really nice. Because John up the street was having his birthday party on the same day, we didn't stay too late.

After we dropped Matthew off, Natalie and I went to Honfest in Hampden. I wanted to go mainly to hear Cary Zeigler's Expensive Hobby play. They were on from 5:00 to 7:00 and we didn't get there until 6:30 but they were still great. I don't know of any other band that does a Yes Medley ("I've Seen All Good People", "Yours Is No Disgrace" and "Changes"). They also did a couple of originals and Chicago's "Make Me Smile". The Chicago sounded great with their three-piece horn section. The festival itself was OK but I don't know if I would go there just for that. No good beer at any of the stands.
