The fall home-sales season is upon us, and it is time for real estate agents and sellers to prepare properties for sale. If you are in the market to sell your home, you probably already realize that your property needs to be as clean, clutter-free and in as good repair as possible, inside and out. We often refer to these basics as the 3-Ds: de-clutter, de-personalize and deep-clean. But you can further distinguish your home from the competition by having your house staged for a faster and more profitable sale.
THE FRESHMAN CHEMISTMy brother, having just passed college chemistry, swore that adding sugar to a car's radiator was a cheap alternative to antifreeze, and to prove it he'd drive me home on a minus-30-degrees day.He fired up his old car, dumped in five pounds of sugar and, as we drove out of town, went into a sonorous explanation about how sugar keeps water from freezing.The road was solid ice and we had 100 miles to go, so I struggled to believe him.

...who was the family doctor to three generations of Queen Anners, and devoted to his own extended familyDr. Glen S. Player, who grew up in Queen Anne and in later years practiced medicine there, died Sept. 28 at his home in Medina, Wash., surrounded by family. He was 89.Born Sept. 15, 1918, to Shirley and Myrtle (Weiser) Player in Salt Lake City, Utah, he was a great-grandson of original Mormon pioneer settlers of the valley. He moved with his family to Seattle on Queen Anne Hill at 8 years of age. As a youth he remembers sailing across Lake Washington to the Kirkland area, where there were only one or two small homes at the time. Hiking up Coal Creek in the 1920s didn't involve a multi-lane parkway, and in those days camping at Lake Sammamish was considered wilderness backpacking.
TEN YEARS AGO, I was busy in my Minneapolis office, and I didn't really have much time to make a nursing-home call. But Howie was asking if I'd go with him, and I hated to turn Howie down. Howie was about 80 years old, a burly former Minnesota Gopher lineman with a raspy voice and a gentle heart. He'd given his career to serve kids as a public school principal, and now as a senior citizen he was continuing to pour his life into other people. Howie taught me a lot about ministry.

Anyone who cares about Seattle knows Walt Crowley died Sept. 21.Crowley, 60, was a Seattle personage who went from anti-Vietnam War radical with a hefty FBI dossier to establishment lefty, author, activist, historic preservationist and, finally, historian.Crowley's author pendulum swung wide. His books on local history ran the gamut from The Blue Moon tavern to the Rainier Club. In the process, the former counterculture icon not only broadened our outlook on our life and times but obviously his own, as well.
