iDad 007 – Mini Me Meets One Little Girl
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on January 30, 2012
Mini Me I have mentioned previously about God Sakes love for all things miniature and his unfortunate inclination to eat said tiny toys. Well Granny also had a predilection for the pint sized. To him, every itty-bitty item was somebody’s baby and, like his brothers before him, his favourite were prehistoric monsters. Plastic dinosaurs (or [...]

No Home For Old Folks.
Posted by Matt Green in Latest Posts, Short Stories on December 8, 2011
Early this morning I wandered through an old, deserted warehouse watching the dusty cobwebs drift lazily on an invisible zephyr. My three hundredth sneeze echoed in the empty silence and rattled the mercury vapour lamps hanging from the ceiling like grimy grey stalactites. I rubbed itchy eyes with the knuckle of my right index finger [...]

Rain Dancing with Sir Joseph Banks
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, Latest Posts, Short Stories on November 25, 2011
Tuesday 22nd November – Evening – Botany / Banksmeadow Area The incessant yet gentle precipitation had left me feeling mildly depressed. My Monday morning jog had been washed out and the Tuesday morning raincheck was, well, rainchecked again. On top of that the exercise bike was broken, which tends to happen when you plug the [...]
iDad Part Six – More Cake
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Short Stories on September 1, 2011
St Andrew’s Growing up with No.1, God Sakes and Granny was as entertaining as it was educational and iDad’s influence over his children was profound. As a fledgling golfer I was forever talking to my boys about the three or four good shots I made out of the one hundred and thirty it took me [...]

iDad Gets Published in Bare Essentials Magazine
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on July 15, 2011
Actually, iDad has been published a few times in Bare Essentials Magazine now, but I missed the last couple of issues due to personal reasons. When I asked the editor, Inga Yandell, if her readers missed me she said: “Men around the world were left to their own devices with the absence of iDad the [...]
iDad’s Guide to Fitness
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on May 6, 2011
Are We Jogging? Or so said the eccentric mystic from the movie ‘Jewel of the Nile’ as he, Joan Wilder and Jack T Colton fled across the desert, pursued by Omar the charming, yet ruthless dictator. I often wonder the same thing in the twilighty minutes before sunrise as I dodge past garbage trucks, lonely [...]
iDad and the Great Migration
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on February 23, 2011
Late last year the National Geographic Channel ran a series of fantastic shows on the Great Migrations of the animal world. Monarch butterflies, nomadic elephants and herds of bleating zebras graced our screen and entertained the children. One of my personal favourites was the red crab from Christmas Island. Each mating season millions of these [...]

iDad v5 – Night Bears.
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on January 5, 2011
Following on from a recent visit to Sydney Children’s Hospital (God Sakes poked a bamboo stake into Granny’s eyeball) and with all the free time I have thanks to my insomnia, I was inspired to write a new iDad story for you. Ladies and gentlemen, for your edification and entertainment, I present iDad Number 5. [...]

iSanta – The iDad Christmas Special
Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on December 18, 2010
Press play below for a little theme music. Christmas has always been a magical time of the year in our family ever since iDad was a baby himself. As soon as God Sakes learned to talk Bynel and Mynel became Gam-pa and Gam-mar, which made my mother very happy, and for as far back as [...]

Gen Y – an iDad Perspective
Posted by Matt Green in Commentary, Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on October 4, 2011
What is Generation Y? The simple definition of the generations is as follows: 1901 – 1924: The Greatest Generation aka The Veterans. These guys were born during the Great War, grew up through the Great Depression and fought in World War 2. They were fed on food stamps, handouts and the grapes of wrath. If [...]
