Within a week, Yeuhan began dressing like the rest of the idiots complete with the come-and-get it thongs.I was in absolute heaven.And people were beg...nning to notice.The first time I took Yeuhan to the club, it was with the Angels for 18-holes with JR Hollis, Stan Jenison - Carly's Manufacturing-baron father - and Dr. Ravi-Houseman.By then, the Angels knew the drill - what notes to take, where to wait for me.

Danny said we could.
