Re: "Looking for My Mambo in a Mojito" by RhondaK (Nov. 29-Dec. 5)

Imagine, if you will, the pleasure I experienced when I realized that it was Thursday and I could obtain my much needed fix for the weekend, the Planet. Then double that pleasure along with a stupid-ass grin that would put the Joker to shame when I opened the front page and found a picture of the lovely, sensual and infamous RhondaK. I eagerly turned to her article; by the time I finished, my grin was nearly off my face. Not only did I now have a new place to check out, I was secretly hoping (although not so secretly anymore) that I could explore its delights with Rhonda. This chick makes you want to jump right in! Please, please, please Planet, let her be the new "club columnist," much the same as Bonnie Boots put her mark on the funny, informative Dining Guide. Of course, since I came up with the idea, it would only be right that I accompany Rhonda on her rounds.

Correction An article on shark attacks in last week's Planet misidentified an associate research scientist at the Florida Marine Research Institute. His name is Brent Winner.
