$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

I bet Party Ben misses this one.

It’s an awesome rap video from the 83-year-old “Funky Fraulein.” (“I have to be in bed by nine.”)

All my grandmothers were dead long before I was born, but I’m such a mama’s girl I always mourned never having had them. I’m sure at least one of them would have been like her. Cutest of all, the grandson who no doubt talked her into this (she hefts quite a few wine glasses in the video) makes a cameo.

Enjoy.
