Only one kid, two dogs and four banjos at the moment, but I'm still ambitious.

Funny that. When I was a kid I said to my dad, dad, I want to grow up and be a banjo player. He said, son, you can't do both...

By the by, I can rarely see statues of people without one of Twain's lines coming to mind. During the American variant of the Grand Tour that he describes in The Innocents Abroad he was endlessly paraded before one marble image after another. He'd wait until the guide had finished his patter, then assume a concerned expression and say, "Is he - dead?"

I believe Mark Twain said "The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog".
