The husband of a really good friend of mine used to work on the tugboats that can be seen chugging up and down the Hudson and East River. (You'll ask her a question about a certain time in her life and the answer will always be either pre-tug or post-tug. "Well, he was on the tugs then ... so let's see, that would put me in the first year of my job downtown ..." Or "Well, that was after he stopped driving the tugs ... ") He's now in construction, but for years - he was one of the dudes out there, pushing the barges around (check out this photo). Pretty incredible, when you think about it. Love tugs. The workhorses of the harbor.
