I don't know precisely why this movie listed below is important, in the context of my artificial and symbolic memory. I think I have thought about it more than once over the past 9 years, for some reason, although I have defintely not seen it in the past 9 years. I thought of it again today when I saw it in the video store.
I can remember watching it in the context of that first apartment in Greenville. For some strange reason, I can clearly visualize a photo I took of the television when the tape was playing and I think it was a scene of the lake. I can't remember why I took the photo. I want to say it was to test out my camera, but I had that camera for a long time and this was in 1990. I can still remember the photo there in that apartment of my new Mitsubishi television and VCR. There was a brown pair of boat shoes next to the entertainment center. There was two or more books on the shelf. One was about a programming language named Ada and I don't remember the other book. I have pondered a few times over why I "remember" that book on Ada. I got it from the library on the Wainwright but I never did read it.
These calculations suggest to me that the 1988 movie "The Great Outdoors" was timed to point to the dates 4/14/1986 and 5/13/1987. I recognize the date 4/14/1986 as when I escaped from being a Prisoner of War in Libya and I lived in the wilds of Africa until I completed my escape on 5/13/1987.
From 4/14/1986 to 6/17/1988 is: 795 days
795 / 2 = 397
From 4/14/1986 to 5/16/1987 is: 397 days

Release date(s) June 17, 1988
The Great Outdoors is a 1988 comedy film starring John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Annette Bening, and Stephanie Faracy. Robert Prosky and Lewis Arquette have supporting roles.
Howard Deutch directed the film, which was written by John Hughes.
This movie starring Phoebe was precisely 20 years after Apollo 11 landed on the Earth's moon. There are strong clues to associate me with the "Buzz" character that is after her character in the movie. I don't ever remember seeing this movie, but I believe it is another work of mine to illustrate that Phoebe is very important to me and I am glad she is part of my life.

Shag (1989)
Release Date: 21 July 1989 (USA)
Summer of 1963. Carson is getting married to her boyfriend so her friends Melaina, Pudge and Luanne take her to Myrtle Beach for one last irresponsible weekend.
Phoebe Cates ... Carson McBride
The actor who portrayed "Jimmy Valentine" was 335 months, 9 days, old on 12/27/1988. That day 12/27/1988 was 594 days after 5/13/1987. I recognize 5/13/1987 as when I completed my escape from Africa after being shot down by anti-aircraft fire on 2/14/1986. Using the method of counting inclusive days, then it would be perfectly a clue of 335-9 and 593.
From 5/13/1987 to 12/27/1988 is: 594 days

Shag (1989) .... Jimmy Valentine
I haven't seen this movie, that I can remember, but what I read in these pages, it seems the character named "Buzz" was trying to steal the woman that my wife portrays. I probably created this detail so I could point back to it someday when I told her the full story about my youth in the space program. The characters "Chip" and "Buzz" both represent me but there was a lot she didn't know about me, perhaps.
From 3/3/1959 to 9/20/1965 is: 2393 days
From 7/16/1963 to 9/20/1965 is: 797 days
797 / 2393 = 0.333
