Thanks Paul,
I'll take the first as it is a single life. Afraid I'll have to disappoint you one the second one.
I don't usually repeat myself, but in this case dialect wins out. When I was young, they still had country stores, which was also the post station, and the gas station. They had your smokes and beer. Usually there would be 2 or 3 old guys sitting, smoking or chawin' toe-bac-ee and drinking coffee. If you ever saw "Green Acres" or "Petticoat junction", these places looked a lot like Mister Drunker's store, pickle barrel and all, although no train. When anybody talk of the past with fondness, or even without the response would be "good times brother, good times", or something similar. I won't go into the rational for using that, but that's where it came from.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
