Tomorrow is Lorraine’s birthday.   Lorraine is a true friend and that rariety of rarieties: a native San Diegan (by way of La Jolla.)  She was at my first sparkleball party where all the sparkleballs turned out cattywompus because I hadn’t worked out how to make them before I invited friends over.  Today, for her birthday sparkleball I cut up some soft plastic cups I found at the 99⊄ store and glued a few rims into the clear cups.  I like the modern art effect.  Sort of Piet Mondrian except round.   I hope she likes it.
