Ponder's just a few miles southwest of Denton; 'bout 430 folks live there, give or take. HQ'd there is a private school by the name of Freedom Christian Academy, where, my guess is, they don't teach bar mitzvah classes. Probably a safe bet to say the phone doesn't ring off the hook at the FCA on most days. Then again, on most days, President Bush, pitching his new mortgage relief program, doesn't give out the school's phone number during a press conference. By accident. --Robert Wilonsky
