Dear Doctors: I recently read about a way to fall asleep faster where you think about a word for a few seconds and then move on to another word. I tried it using a word for every letter in the alphabet and never got much beyond J. Is there an explanation for why this would work?
Dear Annie: My mom and I have always been close. I’m 35 now, but we talk almost every day, even though she’s in Virginia, where I grew up, and I moved to Washington state after college. We make an effort to see each other as much as possible, but of course, it’s never enough.
Last week, I talked about starting a fall garden to take advantage of the cooling temperatures. Now it’s time to talk about dividing and transplanting bearded iris and daylilies and removing spent raspberry canes.

The Listening Room at Hamilton Studios was the site of Tuesday night’s presentation by Classics NW. In keeping with the spirit of enterprise and innovation that has increasingly characterized his programming, Music Director Zuill Bailey brought together styles and traditions that in times not long past would not have appeared in the same room, much less on the same program. The concert fell into two segments: in the first, Bailey, in his role as one of the world’s leading cellists, partnered with pianist Greg Presley in performing series of works of dazzling variety by Robert Schumann, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, Lucas Foss, Claude Debussy, Piotr Tchaikovsky and Nicolo Paganini. In the second segment, the stage was stormed by Time For Three, a high-voltage string trio made up of violinists Nick Kendall and Charles Yang and bassist Ranaan Meyer. Much of what they played and sang was improvised on the spot, some was based on compositions by members of the group or by contemporary composers, but none of it appeared on its surface to have anything whatever to do with the retinue that produced the music of the first segment.
