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.

  • Well December looks like this for me. Zones in NJ is out. NEM in Boston is in. It looks like some CONN masters will be going up so it is a good meet for that, and also the NJ meet clashes with "The Nutcracker" I thought it was to close to Santy Claus time?! You've likewise got a teensy problem on the BR-free sprint events being back to back on Sunday. But since you "want" to swim all of them and would never sandbag, no complaints please! :thhbbb: Where are you and CONN hoteling?
