ALDI has helped me

 So, some time ago, Trader Joe's discontinued their Spicy Brown Mustard. I wrote TJ's, and that did nothing. The employees were predictably empathetic about the discontinuation. On social media, people were willing to suggest similar mustards. Somehow none of them were satisfying enough. Yeah, first world problem, I know.

Finally, a good enough solution has been found. ALDI, related to TJ's, was selling their Spicy Brown Mustard and I am using it to my satisfaction. Whew. It isn't the same, of course, but the taste is comparable.

Happy New Year

 May your 2026 be happy. May you be healthy. Here's to a year of possibilities. My weightlifting continues and the number of repetitions is fine. The weight itself is still not where I need it to be, but in time the number is going to be higher. 

I'm really glad my friend told me about weightlifting. Sports like swimming and tennis are a really good workout, but lifting is more convenient these days. I look forward to swimming soon. Weather may become nicer this week. Last week many were surprised by rain.

That's another good thing about lifting. If it's raining or snowing or too windy, it's easily doable. 

See you back soon!
