JIM'S FAVORITES OF 2015

2015 was one of the toughest and most challenging years so far, filled with ups/downs, laughter/tears and thrills/chills. I am a stronger, braver person for it.

A few friends and colleagues left this mortal plane, while a few new babes arrived!

New car, new Iron Maiden, new Star Wars, 'Back to the Future Day', a ton of crappy comics from the Big Two, and one of the best years for new toys.

I am alive and have my health (more or less), great friendsand family. I welcome 2016 and all it will bring.

And because I'm lazy, I frantically assembled this "Best of 2015" post 90minutes before midnight.
