Not just anybody can join this group. We’ve been meeting for close to 30 years, and we guard admission with diligence. To become a member, you must be a man who looks good on paper, but be a bit of a mess in real life. Turns out, there are a lot of us. In the early 1990s, this group usually met at my house because I had three kids, no wife and possessed pots and pans. I served the same meal each time. Though some in our group had impressive Ivy League pedigrees, their state of affairs in those days could be characterized as “unsettled.”
A Boys Trip to New Orleans is Interrupted by a Bird Strike
Key Takeaways:
- The "Men of No Particular Ambition" (MONPA), a long-standing group of successful but "messy" professionals, embarked on a private jet trip from Tampa to New Orleans for Jazz Fest.
- Shortly after takeoff, the jet experienced a severe bird strike (a pelican hitting the right wing), prompting the pilot to prioritize safety and return to Tampa.
- The group safely landed, inspected the significant damage, and, despite missing their destination, celebrated their relief from the unexpected incident with Champagne and a local New Orleans-themed dinner.
