Anniversaries

One year ago yesterday I began this blog, which I initially named, Notes from Above Ground (a play on Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground), but quickly changed to Notes from a Byzantine-Rite Calvinist.

Today is the one-year anniversary of the sudden and unexpected opening of the green line in Cyprus, allowing people on both sides to travel back and forth for the first time in almost three decades. Much has happened since then, but not nearly enough.
