How to persuade spouse you must go to a meet?

I'm seeking creative ideas on how to persuade my spouse that I simply must go to a travel meet in December. He didn't quite make vomit noises when I mentioned it, but looked a bit (not unduly) irritated/bewildered/annoyed by my desire to compete in meets. (He hasn't raced much lately.) The timing was likewise unappealing. Any thoughts? I was contemplating calling my mother and begging for a visit.

    Fort, don't remember when or where I mentioned this, but Dana said that the SCM meet near me in late Jan/early Feb is well run. I just don't know what level of competition you'd find, but Dana would. I haven't had this problem (yet) as Mr. Ensignada is thrilled I've found something I like. Plus, in the back of his mind, he knows how many conferences of his I've stayed home with a young child for, including the one he took 2 years ago to Hawaii, where he called me from his oceanfront balcony to ask if I could hear the waves. Oh, yeah. I gotta lotta meets comin' to me.
