Re: Mark Marchillo’s Dec. 28 Odd Man Out, “Solitary Holiday on the Homefront”

Is anyone else out there tired of this guy Marchillo airing out his weekly struggles with his sexual orientation and frustration with his personal life in general? He needs therapy, not Daily Press newspaper space to run through his cathartic musings each week. Mark, word of advice: Stop the public drama already! Why not get yourself a good counselor-therapist, preferably one who knows and has experienced life filled with joy, meaning, and purpose, and start yourself on a path of renewal in ‘08.
