Daughter L baked these cheesecake brownies for her company bake sale the other day. She made enough so that we could have some too. They are so good, sigh.
Blogeratti mentioned on his blog about a town called Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada that has eliminated homelessness. I thought this was amazing in terms of humanitarian good. I found this wonderful article that describes more about the intitiative. Medicine Hat is providing housing for those who need it. The mayor opposed it for awhile but realized the program saves the town money. Another 'motivation for Clugston's change of heart was a shift in his view of homelessness. Rather than viewing homeless people as too lazy to get a job, he began seeing homelessness as a symptom of both a disease -- mental illness -- and of the stigma faced by those suffering from it.'
