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.

Back to to the original question, how to persuade your spouse that you must go to a meet (and you want his company)? It all boils down to the meet that you choose. Let me recommend USMS long course nationals in Oregon, August 2008. Within an hour from the pool your spouse can eat, drink, and recreate to his heart's content, and still get back in time to take you out for a nice evening on the town.
