What's the plural of Elvis?

My work is trying to get me to take a web building class. I'm all cool with that but they want me to take it at a community college for six weeks on the weekend. I don't think so. I like my job but I'm not going to give up my weekends for it. If they gave me those days back as vacation days I'd consider it but I really really doubt that's going to happen.

In kung fu last night we worked on a judo throw. You grab someone by their upper arms, kick them in the groin, fall on your back, place your feet on their hip joints and lift and throw them over your head. If you keep holding on to them you'll do a backwards roll and end up straddling them where you can start punching and throwing elbows. It's pretty cool when it works right. I found I could do it great with people about the same size as me but had problems when I was paired with someone who outweighed me by 50+ pounds. I think I need to work on some weight lifting for my legs. Inventory of new bruises: upper arms, hip bones, shoulders.

Simon is set to go under the laser for his eyes at the beginning of January. He's bummed out because he won't be able to do his Jeet Kune Do and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu because he's not allowed to get hit in the face for six months after surgery. He's researching gyms near our place. There's a dinky nautilus gym a few blocks from our house that looks all right, I told him I'd join with him but I really don't know how I'm going to get more time to work out. A buddy from KF asked me to go to a martial arts class on Sundays she's trying to set up. I can't remember what she called it, Chi kung? It's suppose to be the basis of all martial arts. And I'd like to hit a few Bikram yoga classes to work on my flexibility. So basically I'll be working out a whole bunch in the next couple of months.

Mel, feel free to disagree with me at any time and aren't a bunch of Elvises called Elvi?
