Markyさん、 It was unbelievably hot here the other day. Someone even died during the Chicago Marathon. Now the temperature dropped from 90 to 50. Its extremely cold today! Does Tokyo hold marathons? This was an entertaining lesson.

I'm slugging through them, but it's discouraging. Anyway, as my GF says, 継続　は　力　なり Slogging through makes you strong!

I had it in my mind that いけない was only used with てはいけない(can't do (something)). I kept getting the け and か mixed up since the intermediate lesson that covered わけにはいかない. I was all ready to accept Naomi-sensei's thanks too, but I can't now :cry: I’m glad that you mentioned that, Jason. I had it in my mind that いけない was only used with てはいけない(can’t do (something)).
