March 19th 2022 A Few Photos From Pre COVID Moments: Just To Remember

March 19th, 2022

It's a really difficult time for most of us as a possible new COVID surge begins to loom larger and larger on the global horizon.

                                                    Delores Fisher Pre COVID

Despite wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and social upheaval . . .COVID keeps creeping back like a bad case of foot fungus. The newest variant is now spreading fast.

As I was downloading a few old photos, I began to wonder if many of us are doing the same, with sadness, joy, pain, relief, confusion, hope, and just plain exhaustion as we realize how much has changed and yet how much in terms of what we do with and to each other hasn't really been altered.

Is this a recursive loop of inwardly spiraling angst while we admit . . .we do not really control much on this world, just how we react to its groanings.  Once again we hurry up to run towards a sense of semi-emergence to "normalcy" after the Omicron trauma -wave of illness knocked us off our reality surfboards with bruises, cuts, and aches,  I just thought I'd post a few Pre-COVID photos, from my San Diego Blogger's photo file just to remember when . . .

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan.  The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of  1st and B street. It was moved to  the corner of  then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/   now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!!

Jellyfish around San Diego Embarcadero and Broadway Pier

             Delores Fisher Blogger on an early Morning stroll Jellyfish are visiting the San Diego CA. Broadway Pier and Embarcadero again. Jellyfish appeared to swarm in this same area in 2012. Although I posted about the Black Nettle Jellyfish in July 2012, this was the first time since that year that I have seen any type of jellyfish in such numbers at the pier. http://carpenoctum2.blogspot.com/2012/08/black-sea-nettle-jellyfish-at.html   However, multiple sightings of similar and other jellyfish have increased since 2012. Several have been posted on youtube. 2015 has been an odd weather year for San Diego with heat and odd rainfall days (despite our drought). It is possible that temperature shifts are part of the reason why jellyfish are in our bays and near our beaches.  Our October weather has been unseasonably hot this early fall, similar to temperatures during earlier 2015 seasonal sightings.  Shannon Handy reported on a North County swarm of Sail jellyfish in May.
