These pages and my e-mail box have received much traffic in recent days regarding O.J. Simpson's forthcoming book, "If I Did It," published under Judith Regan's imprint at HarperCollins, which Ms. Regan told The New York Times was "his confession."
While I understand why folks are coming here to find my take on this intriguing, in truth, quite surprising, twist in the O.J. phenomenon, I must beg your patience for a day or two. I am tired, indeed, I am exhausted; I have not had a single day off for almost two months now. I am not complaining, mind you.
The more than two dozen extra hours a week of rehearsals and drama classes that were added to my normal load of journalism classes here at BFSU since the inception of the new English Language Drama program, are labors of love, which I had dreamed of and worked towards from when I first decided to come to China to write and teach some four years ago. And my salary was greatly enhanced to compensate for it. But still I am very tired. Today, Saturday, we had 4 hours of rehearsals; tomorrow, Sunday, will be the same.
Yet, I do want to remark a bit on the book and the two-part interview of O.J. coming on the Fox Network; and I will, very soon. I promise; just not today. Thank you for your visits to these pages, and your e-mails.
