After surveying our inventory of available snow globes, each globe hoping one day it might be chosen as the annual Highly Coveted Tournament Contest Snow Globe, Hattie selected this striking Chicago Bean globe, the newest member of our collection. Freshly acquired from a pre-eclipse trip to the Windy City from the souvenir shop of the Skydeck atop the Willis (aka Sears) Tower, the third tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and then hand-carried into the path of totality to my birthplace in Indiana for the cosmic event itself, this globe features several iconic Chicago skyscrapers and other features of its skyline, all sitting atop a replica of the Cloud Gate sculpture (aka the Bean) from Millennium Park. Not only will this globe forever symbolize Hattie's triumph, it will remind her of her grandparent's home in the Chicagoland area. And while the mantel in the Mast household might for now be home to two HCTCSGs, we are sure Hattie's will follow her wherever she goes into adulthood.
We also handed Hattie a crisp $100 bill.
