The first time I ever saw snow skis was when I was 62 years old and that was 19 years ago and I'm still skiing. So, we'll be skiing with some very close friends of the Carter Center letting them know what the Carter Center is doing around the world. We have programs in over 65 countries.

Last year I was on Pat Robertson's show, and we discussed our basic Christian faith - for instance, separation of church and state.
