Tim "playa robe" Anglin?

Excellent question! Back at the Charlotte tournament in 2006 (where Shelley and I went on our first date), we were talking to Tim one day down in the hotel courtyard. He had just come from the pool, and was wearing a red silk robe. It has henceforth been known as the "playa robe", because it reminded us of something Hugh Hefner would wear.

I thought the same thing when I realized WISEN* wasn't good. But the only dictionaries that show it when I Googled are Wiktionary and Urban Dictionary, heh. I guess the real expression is "wise up."

But it does take the -HEIMERS back extension!

Humph - it would take a WISENHEIMER to point that out! :-)
