A Bag of Queens
Little John Nee
An Grianán Theatre Productions
Autumn/Winter 2012
A Bag of Queens is part of a series of shows featuring the character Sparkplug Callaghan, a musical odyssey that races along with Little John’s trademark comic storytelling style, exploring themes of ‘random acts of kindness’, responsibility, loneliness, greed and creative expression, in a gentle and fun way.
A favour for a friend leads Sparkplug to an old grocery and hardware shop at a country crossroads. Inside he discovers a lost treasure of consumer items that now assume a very different meaning and value. When he visits the elderly shopkeeper in a retirement home he is cast off in an adventure to a city that’s tearing itself apart for want of more ‘stuff.
The show is about human relationships and it gives children an appreciation and connection with the lives of older people as well as offering a view of being “ a fish out of water” and what it is like to be “different” in a new community.
Suitable for 7+
Admission Free

Pictures of the West Bank Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The West Bank Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1901 and is in the Lower New York Bay. It serves as the front range light with the Staten Island Lighthouse serving as the rear range. This guided ships into the Ambrose Channel. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayonne, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
I don't quite remember where I saw this sign-it was kind of tucked away behind a building somewhere around La Salle, I think. I do think it's a neat find-I mean there's a lot of boating on Lake Michigan. I don't think that Masters Marine is still in business, however.
The kids love to goof around on the old parts tractor. It's under a big oak tree in the backyard and is the perfect refuge during a flash rain storm or when it's to hot out :)
Robert Reynolds awards Eddie Davis with the Sparkplug for his humorous speech about having three moms, moderating great impromptu questions as table topics master, and for his great mentoring tip about how go give a great introduction Saturday, Dec. 27, 2014.
I found this old spark plug at low tide on the shores of Diggby Island in Northern British Columbia. I am guessing it was for the engine of a boat being that there were no cars up there in the early years.

Latimer Reef Light, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is a sparkplug lighthouse on Latimer's Reef in Fishers Island Sound. The lighthouse is located one mile northwest of East Point on Fisher's Island, Suffolk County, NY. Originally called Latemore's Reef after James Latemore. Latimer Reef Light was completed in 1884. It sits in 18 feet of water at the western end offshore of Fisher's Island Sound. The light includes a 30-foot-diameter (9.1 m) cylindrical caisson foundation painted brown. The caisson is filled with concrete and surrounded by riprap. This foundation supports a 46 foot cast iron superstructure that includes a four-story conical tower topped by a one-story cylindrical watch room and decagonal lantern. The tower, watch room and lantern are painted white with a brown stripe a full story tall around the tower's third story. In 2008, the U S Secretary of the Interior identified Latimer Reef Light Station as surplus and required it to be maintained in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation.
One very old spark plug, still found in one very old tractor.
Question: does this image show "artifacts" when viewed large? It got rejected in my iStock application for artifacting and I'm not sure I agree. It's a very narrow DOF, but the version I uploaded was cropped from raw and saved as high quality jpeg. Am I missing something?
