And this movie reminds me again of something Lynn said to me one day in the cafe at the Issaquah [ Microsoft Corporation ] office. I had known Lynn for a long time and I thought of her as my best friend. I wondered why she asked me one day, something about the way she asked me, what I would do if I could choose another career. I told her I would be an astronomer. She said something similar to "Oh, because of" and then trailed off.

STS-65 also had Chiaki Mukai onboard. Is she that same astronaut that I thought looked familiar as I wrote in my journal a while back? I can't find that reference now.
Yeah, that is her. I remember this page:
http://www.spacefacts.de/bios/international/english/mukai_chiaki.htm
Maybe the dropped me off at the Mir space station and I took a Russian rocket to the moon.
What is notable about the theory about the trip to the moon is how high is my confidence level. I have been almost convinced it is true ever since it dawned on my early the morning. That would make sense though. I am more ready for such revelations at this point as I was a few months ago.

I have been writing that I think I started Princeton University on 9/2/65 at the age of 6.5 years. I was reviewing the shuttle flight STS-65 and further reviewing the biography of Chiaki Mukai. As a member of the crew of STS-65, she was the first female astronaut from Japan to go into space. The mid-point between her birthday of 5/6/52 and 9/2/65 was 1/3/59. From 1/3/59, 59 days later was 3/3/59, the day I was born.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiaki_Mukai
Chiaki Mukai (Mukai Chiaki, born May 6, 1952) (M.D., Ph.D.) is a JAXA astronaut (Payload Specialist).
She flew aboard STS-65 in 1994 and STS-95 in 1998. She is the first Japanese woman to fly in space, and the first Japanese astronaut to fly twice.

Landing November 7, 1998
STS-95 was a Space Shuttle Discovery mission launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on October 29, 1998. It was the 25th flight of Discovery and the 92nd mission flown since the start of the Space Shuttle program in April 1981. It was a highly publicized mission due to former Project Mercury astronaut, and United States Senator, John H. Glenn, Jr.'s return to space for his second space flight. Glenn became the oldest person, to date, to go into space.

But I think this is all why Lynn TerWoerds and John were around me. John was a lot older than Lynn and that probably reflects how I felt. I was about the same age as Phoebe, but I was tremendously experienced.
from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: August 24, 2006
That must be why I said something to Lynn one time when I was over at their house or maybe we were out to dinner. I was talking to Lynn and John about something I can't remember. I said something about how I would eagerly volunteer for a mission into outer space if I had the opportunity. Lynn said she would too. I have been wondering for a few days if Lynn isn't an astronaut too and that is where I know her from. Also, I wrote something awhile back that seems especially relevant. I found myself expressing the thought that I was genetically designed before birth for space travel.

I had some kind of pleasant dream about a function I attended with the U.S. Navy. I was wearing the uniform of a U.S. Navy Captain, but my ribbons were from Kerry Burgess' DD-214. There was a woman with me and I think she was my aide and she was wearing a USN officer's uniform but I can't remember her rank. I remember from the dream that we were attending some kind of function related to an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, and we were standing on the brow next to the submarine, but when I saw it, the submarine was a much older boat. It was obviously too old to be an Ohio. Then we were inside at a gathering and I was still in uniform and I want to say it was my USNA class reunion. There weren't very many people there though. But George W. Bush was there. He wouldn't look at me but at one point, he asked if I had anything to say to him. I asked him if he had tried the coffee because it was very good. He made some kind of threat about having me separated from the Navy.

The other dream I had was about fighting some kind of aliens. I'm not sure if this dream happened before the one I wrote about above or if it happened later. In this dream, I am still in the Navy, but I am wearing some kind of camoflauge uniform, maybe army or marines. These aliens have invaded a subway and there are a lot of travelers around in danger. I am about to drop from exhaustion after 36 hours of fighting, we have been retreating and I am separated from the other soldiers. I am carrying two heavy packs, trying to find another unit to group up with, with passengers stream through the facility, they are even getting on the trains as some of them are still coming through. I have lost my rifle somewhere. I still have plenty of ammo, but I can't find a rifle. A woman at a coffee kisok says something to me that I don't remember, she has dried blood on her hands as she is preparing coffee. Then I am outside and I have found an armory where I get another rifle. I start heading back to the subway. A woman drives up in a car and asks me if I am who she thinks I am. But I can't remember seeing her actually in the car, all I can remember is seeing her buried in the dirt with only her talking face exposed. That is all I remember.

Bird Dog, I spilled a cup of coffee today. It just kept falling. I couldn't stop it. I didn't want it to fall. I can't remember ever spilling a cup of coffee before in my life.

I had a dream just before I woke up and I was clearly looking at my oxygen mask that I was wearing in a U.S. military fighter jet and that oxygen mask was starting to crumble apart.

This scene makes me think of this for several reasons. One is that the guy who yells "Yeah, we're all astronauts" has a cut on his head making me think of the head wound I endured on 5/9/1985 from the anti-aircraft missile explosion that killed my RIO and almost caused me to crash my F-14 Tomcat into the ocean.

That pedestrian was yelling something back to the 3 U.S. Navy sailors in khakis he had walked past and that were on the other side of the street from me after I left from the Uptown coffee shop they had also been in but when I turned to look over after his comments I noted that he was looking directly at me as though I would overhear his comments and I believe that signifies just how strangers recognize me all the time as I am walking around outside.

I can't even goddamned get a good cup of coffee anymore.
from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 01/14/08 1:04 AM
I'm not certain when I fell asleep, several hours ago, before getting up just now. I had several dreams but I remember only one part of one of those dreams. The setting of the dream is very vague but as I review in my mind the details I still remember, I seem to have been getting out of the back of a pickup truck and I was walking off the highway. I don't remember anything other than that scene. I do remember that I was carrying a hunting rifle. I had that 35 caliber Marlin lever-action that I remember well from my artificial memory. Also something odd about that dream is that I remember well the trigger on that rifle. I remember that I threw the lever and chambered a round in the rifle and I don't remember where I went after that. But I remember clearly that my finger was on the trigger and I was very aware of the trigger for some reason.
After I woke up, or perhaps these were thoughts as I was just about to wake up, I was thinking of other times I have dreamed and had a firearm in that dream.
The only time I can remember is that dream I wrote of several years ago where I was fighting some kind alien creature that had invaded a subway system. I was wearing the battle-dress uniform of a USN SEAL and I had lost my rifle somewhere during the battle. I was exhausted from constant fighting. I can still remember that in the dream, I visualized a pack I was wearing that was full of 7.62 mm rifle ammunition but I didn't have a rifle. I eventually found an armory and was issued another rifle and I went back to the subway to continue the battle. I also wrote how I had walked past a coffee kiosk during the early part of that dream and the woman making coffee had dried blood on her hands. There was also that part where the woman drove up in a car and asked me if I was who she thought I was and then, oddly, she was in the ground and only her talking face was exposed above the ground. I have been thinking ever since, for some reason, that woman was Condoleeza Rice. I don't know what that means, other than the obvious of how she is a national traitor, and she is against the USA.

I started thinking this morning about a jacket I used to wear long ago. I bought it around the time Lynn and I started bicycling, which I think was in 1999. I wore that jacket every time I went cycling and some parts of it were green and other parts blue. I remember one time, after I had been wearing it for a long time, I noticed that the logo emblem on one side of the chest was labeled as “Brooks.” I can remember feeling something like surprise that it was labeled “Brooks.”

Lately I have been thinking of something Grace Stahre said to me one day at work at the Microsoft office.
I often think about her comment when I see that one scene in the 2002 film "The Time Machine".
She said something about wanting to see my apartment because I probably had a lot of machinery spare parts laying around. I forget now her precise words. I remember it because I remember visualizing the state of my apartment at the time she said that, wondering what she knew.
That could have been the year 1999 but might have been the year 2000. Grace and Lynn and I rode bicycles together a lot after work. We were training for the annual organized bicycle event called the Seattle to Portland race. We didn't race the course but we did want to finish. That year 2000 was the first time I participated in the event. The event organizers advertise it as a one-day or two-day event. The full course covers 200 miles. We started off in Seattle that morning in the year 2000 the three of us. Most people, as I recall, ride 100 miles the first day and 100 miles the second day. I forget now the precise distance we covered that first day but as best I recall now we covered 135 miles the first day and the remainder the second day. In the year 2001 I rode the course alone and covered 200 miles on my Schwinn road bicycle in about 14 hours. Maybe 16 hours. Can't remember now my finish time. Was still daylight though when I rolled into Portland to the finish line.
"Stahre". Now there's a surprise.
I had met her early on when I started working at Microsoft in December 1998 but Lynn was the one who brought us together on bicycle excursions. Grace was the one who got me started on the Burke-Gilman Trail in the Seattle suburbs. I cranked out thousands of miles on that pavement training for Ironman triathlons.
Lynn and I rode a lot but drifted away after a while and she took up sailing. Real sailing on real sailing ships. I remember her telling me about her first excursion on the sailing ship Tethys in the year 2002.

Somewhere I wrote about how I remember that Lynn TerWoerds started working at Microsoft about six months after I started working there at the Microsoft high-rise building in downtown Bellevue Washington State.
So, she started talking to me, as best I recall. She invited me, I can guess, to go bicycle riding with her and Grace. I still recall she and I riding the Sammamish Trail at the turn of the year 2000 about the first of January
The Andromeda Strain (2008)

Dr. Jeremy Stone: Listen, Bill. Whatever differences we've had in the past, I hope we can put 'em aside for the duration.
Major Bill Keane MD: I wouldn't miss this for the world, Jeremy. Somebody has to keep an eye on you.
Dr. Jeremy Stone: Just because you're paranoid, Bill, doesn't mean they ain't out to get you.
