Ostomy Memories of Being Matt Helm

This story is about a memorable honeymoon adventure from June 1968, where a newlywed couple set off on a journey around Florida on a Triumph motorcycle. The trip was filled with excitement and a touch of humor, especially when they stopped in Chiefland for a night. After checking into a motel and having dinner, they went to see a movie at the local theater. The film was "The Ambushers," featuring Dean Martin as Matt Helm, and it was quite a hit with the local kids, especially since the hero rode the same model of Triumph motorcycle that the couple had parked outside.

After the movie, the children gathered around the motorcycle, mistaking the husband for the movie character, Matt Helm. With a playful spirit, he started the bike, his wife hopped on, and they rode back to their motel. It was only weeks later that his wife jokingly called him "Dean" and mentioned she had discovered he had an ostomy during their trip, adding a light-hearted twist to their honeymoon memories.

Here are some insights and advice from this story:

1. Wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle is a good practice, even in places where it's not legally required. It ensures safety and protection on the road.
2. Embrace the unexpected moments and humor in life, as they often make for the best memories.
3. Open communication and a sense of humor can strengthen relationships, as seen in the couple's playful exchange about the ostomy.
