The High Calling #goodwork in San Antonio

We’re on a boat. Eating dinner. Talking about the game we just played that required considerable texting.After we all arrived in Texas, we immediately launched into the game. This photo, taken after the game, is on a river barge set up with tables and chairs. Left to right, there’s Ann V., Cheryl, Deidra, Sam, and Dan (standing). And in the background, our tour boat commentator with the hat.We spent the afternoon on a photo scavenger hunt. Our team didn’t have a way to upload our photos to Twitter, so we just took some snapshots as we went along, and I tweeted. So I didn’t really see San Antonio; my head was buried in my phone.We were to locate various landmarks and/or connect with people who were working, complimenting them, asking questions, and posing for a photo when possible. All the while, we were to be tweeting where we were and what we were doing, encouraging their “good work,” turning it into a game with the Twitter hashtag: #goodwork.Here, for example, is The High Calling photo editor Claire Burge complimenting and thanking a security guard at The Alamo.The tweets (most recent on the top on down to oldest/earliest):We just spoke w/gabriel a mariachi player. “I was born into it. I have been playing every day since I was 5.” #goodwork@MaryDeMuth Thanks for the #goodwork (& good word)!
