Streak
意味 （勝ち負け· 運などの） ひと続き
Maintaining My Times Crossword-Puzzle Streak: It’s insane that they expect their readers both to be able to afford a subscription and to have time to complete the puzzle. Doing so takes at least one hour per day. (Thank God for the guy who publishes all the answers on his blog at 7 A.M.)

chore
