The Play’s the Thing

July 11, 2021July 17, 2021 / Martin Goldberg / 4 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I ventured out for the first time in over a year to enjoy some live entertainment. With New York slowly opening up after more than thirteen months of house arrest, I was fortunate enough to have a friend's new one act drama to go see. Returning readers will recognize Robert … Continue reading The Play’s the Thing

Pretty As A Picture

October 14, 2019August 15, 2020 / Martin Goldberg / 4 Comments

I dedicated a fair amount of time this past summer reflecting on my days as a film student. Which would be unremarkable if I had been spending my days reviewing movies or even absorbed in still photography. I was writing a one act play. And yet, there was an underlying rationale to the way my … Continue reading Pretty As A Picture

Brooklyn Music Factory: Playing By Heart

November 8, 2018November 29, 2018 / Martin Goldberg / 6 Comments

If you are a regular on this blog site then you've read about my two oldest friends, Neil and Danny, before (Now That I Think About It). As we've aged, our day to day existences have pulled us apart geographically, and so we end up talking about each other's lives more than actually taking part … Continue reading Brooklyn Music Factory: Playing By Heart

Ford / Kavanaugh: Like It Was Yesterday

October 3, 2018February 27, 2021 / Martin Goldberg / 1 Comment

We are now several weeks into this mess and I am no closer to an opinion on the central issue than I was on day one. In my mind nothing I have seen or heard has moved me from the place I started in. A woman of more than credible credentials (Christine Blasey Ford) has … Continue reading Ford / Kavanaugh: Like It Was Yesterday

Not Bad For A Beginner

October 1, 2018April 27, 2019 / Martin Goldberg / 3 Comments

Before I enter into the body of this piece I find myself forced to take a brief, but probably annoying tangent in a self promotional direction. Beginning sometime around the middle of November, I will be appearing on a podcast as well as doing some additional writing for the associated site, both to be titled … Continue reading Not Bad For A Beginner

Nothing In, Nothing Out

May 29, 2018June 22, 2018 / Martin Goldberg / Leave a comment

I am, by trade, a pediatric echocardiographer. Practicing for more than twenty years now, I have come into contact with tens of thousands of kids. No small percentage of them have been either college age or college bound high schoolers. During their examination I try and put them at ease by discussing, amongst other things, … Continue reading Nothing In, Nothing Out

Mindful Dressing, Mindless Culture

May 15, 2018June 22, 2018 / Martin Goldberg / 2 Comments

A while back (April 30th), the New York Post ran a piece focused on mindful dressing. For those blissfully unaware (as I was) of this new bit of societal mishegas, mindful dressing is all about the impact that that our choices in apparel have on us. Apparently it involves someone known as a fashion mentor. … Continue reading Mindful Dressing, Mindless Culture

Willie And Joe: A Life In Words

April 8, 2018February 1, 2019 / Martin Goldberg / 2 Comments

My mother turned eighty nine a little over a month ago, and it is not going well. Age has hit her in most of the ways it can; diminished in all capacities, the already considerable psychological issues of her younger life exacerbated to cartoonish proportion. I suppose there are people who manage to get older … Continue reading Willie And Joe: A Life In Words

Twitter, Guns, Abortion and My Friend Sam

March 4, 2018March 13, 2018 / Martin Goldberg / 1 Comment

When this blog was first suggested to me it was made clear that in order to build an audience I would have to become active on social media. That thought was not particularly tempting. I didn't really know all that much about it and didn't have an overwhelming desire to find out what I was … Continue reading Twitter, Guns, Abortion and My Friend Sam
