The Multnomah Villager’s Secret Identity Revealed!
Don’t get too excited, it’s just me.
Hi, I’m Mark Myers, and yes, I write the Villager ‘blog. Several people have been after me to “come out” recently, and my latest column the Post was published under my actual name, so I guess I better pull back the curtain on this thing, eh? When I started writing this blog, I thought it’d be easier for me to do it under a pen name, as I didn’t really want to put myself out there until I was sure I’d be able to keep up with maintaining a “real” blog, and I wasn’t sure if people would read. Plus, I like the idea of being able to just go places in the Village as just another Villager, and not as “that guy who writes the blog”, which is why I’m still going to be pretty low key about my “secret identity”.
My wife Parni, and our son Max and I live right on 35th and we’ve been here since I think 1997. Parni and I rented a house over on 41st and Iowa for a year or so before we bought our place here. Max just finished his first year of school at Maplewood and is VERY EXCITED about being a first grader.
Back to our regular programming….
