"Experiment" Angle: The Great Geriatric GoFundMe Gamble

Forget the sob stories. No heartstrings, no outrage, no cause. Just an old woman, tired of screens, dreaming of adventure with her old man. This is a social experiment: can a normal person like me get the crowdfunding love usually reserved for tear-jerkers?

Sick of seeing questionable folks rake in millions? Here's your chance to say something. Donate... just because.

The plan? Frivolity. Travel with my husband while we still can. Maybe New York. Maybe *Phantom of the Opera* in a long black gown, channeling Audrey Hepburn. Who knows? But it won't be boring.
