You may have thought that with all the recent activities that it wasn&#8217;t going to happen&#8230;.WRONG! When I said we were planning a reading, we were definitely planning a reading. Because everything has been stretched, pulled and pummeled into place, things have been taking a little longer than originally planned.<\/p>\n<p>Since we haven&#8217;t made anything official however, I am forbidden to tell you. Once we&#8217;ve chalked down a full plan, I&#8217;ll put it here for your viewing pleasure.
