The image, thanks to NASA, and the change to my blog description ("from the medina of Tangier") provide hints as to changes afoot at Avuncular American. In case you're wondering about the title of this post, here's help.
For the next couple of weeks, I will be transitioning to a new job, which will involve cultural diplomacy from a fascinating place in the Maghrib. The Old American Legation in Tangier, Morocco, will be my home, running TALIM, the Tangier American Legation Institute for Maghrib Studies.
I've even set up the skeleton of a blog, which I hope you'll read as I settle in.
Avuncular American will continue, though maybe at a relaxed pace, since I'll have my hands full running a combination cultural center, museum, research library and conference site.
To all my faithful readers, thanks. And stay tuned!
