AJ and me. Love you, buddy. Thanks for shooting this, Ginny B.

Way back on Thursday — seems like a lifetime ago, I wrote a little tribute to my friend A.J. Moose, who has run admin here for years and is retiring after this one. On Sunday afternoon, I handed site volunteer Ginny Boehling my phone and asked her to snap a shot of A.J. and me. Here’s what happened before we got serious.

You all know I normally don’t post pics of myself here, but this woman has been such a help to me over the years I’ve been covering FloydFest that I just wanted to get this online. Fest co-founder Erika Johnson says the crew is trying to talk A.J. into staying. We’ll see. I say she deserves at least a break for this time next year. Enjoy it, friend!
