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.

  • Alison,things aren't better here in OR this year.NW SCM Zones are in Alaska this year and it is a one day meet.Needless to say I'll be at the SPMA meet. Lets see, where would I rather be in Dec. SoCal or Alaska Hmmmm? Allen, it's getting better for you all in the great state. I just completed 3 entry forms for the next Aqua Master. One is SCM meet in Oregon City in Jan (get a jump on the next SCM season), then the Animal meet in Jan and A SCY meet in Feb in Newberg. Plus the MAC meet. That makes 4 coming up. Fort, you can do the fly after the back. You have good stamina!! Alison
