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.

  • Not. Spending that weekend living at GMU and watching fast USA swimmers. But last year, Kate Zeigler broke an american record there -- so it ain't all bad. There's a USA meet that weekend????? Ugh. Missed that. Hmm. I might have to copy your itenary (no, I'm NOT stalking you :rolleyes:) as I'm sure my daughter would LOVE to watch the 'pros' swim. Plus getting to Boston is so much easier than getting getting to Rutgers and cheaper too. Paul
