But neither of us can attend both. Srsy how on earth did we manage to get the most important weekends of their chosen sports to coincide?

Also, I run the computer on the scoring table for swim meets and we are hosting. But the UP is a 4 hour drive and beest is not the driver I am and we might get back really late on Sunday and he will have to work the next day.... But I have experienced that tourney before and he hasn't.... how to choose?

Bummed there's no way to do both
Hmmm. It sounds like you have to go to the swim meet bec. you run the score board and Beest has to do the long haul drive. It also sounds like Hector would like to have you in his corner more so than dad. (just guessing at that) Can you give Beest a crash course in score board management and you do the long haul?

How would asking the spoor what their choice of parent escort would be pan out?
