Mark Ring’s Deviled Eggs
Tradition.
The Captain Joe and Sons Christmas Party and Mark Ring’s Deviled Eggs.
In theory deviled eggs don’t sound all that appetizing to me. Anyone else’s deviled eggs, I’m not going to cross the street to eat and probably if they are sitting on a platter at someone’s house I’d most likely pass them by.
But not Mark Ring’s deviled eggs. Heaven on earth.

Video- Patsy Palmisano On the Wheel of the Tug Justice
Patsy Palmisano on the wheel of the tug Justice. Jogging home after transiting the Cape Cod Canal the other night in the storm. The other vessel contacted him, and he turned on the deck lights so to get this tape. Not a pleasant night.
Thanks to Anthony D’amico for sending this in.
I’m sure our pal Tugster from the sixth borough will appreciate this. check out his blog to read and see a ton of photos of Tugboats.

My Dad’s Navy Uniform 50 Years Later Shipped From Detroit
About three months ago I got a phone call from my dad’s first cousin Joe from Detroit (yet another Joe Ciaramitaro). Joe follows the blog daily and tells me he knows more about what is going on in Gloucester due to GMG than he does in his own town in Michigan. This is something that I hear from Friends of the Blog all over the country. Joe tells me he feels as if he could walk down the street and know everyone in town.
Anyway, cousin Joe’s mom, my dad’s aunt had his Navy uniform hanging in her closet for almost 50 years. I’m not sure how the uniform found it’s way to Michigan, perhap[s cousin Joe will write in the comment section and explain the story better than I can.
My dad was stationed in Key West- tough gig, huh? He was aboard the USS Saufley and from what he tells me part of his tour included circling Cuba during The bay of Pigs aboard the Saufley.
Well Joe shipped a box with his Navy uniform and sailors cap directly to my house where we stashed it away so we could wrap it and have my dad open it for Christmas.
The uniform wouldn’t have even fit me but nephew BJ tried it on while everyone sat around stunned.
It was a great surprise and made this Christmas super special.
Thanks Cousin Joe.
Here is the web page where there are many more photos of the Saufley and stories about it’s tenure in The US Navy.
Here is the page on the USS Saufley Website Where My Dad’s Listed on the Roster in 1960. It says his rank was SA but I have no idea what that means.

Brace of Baffled Buffleheads
Did you know that the Bufflehead, (a small diving duck, mostly white with glossy green-black to purple-black head and back), was first described in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus, Swedish botanist, physician and zoologist. They nest almost exclusively in holes excavated by Northern Flickers and, on occasion, by Pileated Woodpeckers. Unlike many ducks, it is mostly monogamous, often remaining with the same mate for several years. A group of ducks has many collective nouns, including a “brace”, “flush”, “paddling”, “raft”, and “team” of ducks. Buffleheads are one of my favorite shorebirds and I watch for their arrival in late fall. They are little, very cute and have the coolest name. I don’t know if these are actually baffled, although they did look a little confused in the snow trying to find each other.
