Golf challenges you mentally at any age, and when you become my age, it's a challenge physically to try to make your game work as well as it ever did.

For instance, he says I let him play golf, and he says, he lets me be miserable in my job. Now - that doesn't quite sound right, does it? But nonetheless, I think for the first time in my life, I'm not going to be miserable in my life when I come and work at CNN.

When I get to 40, I'm going to re-evaluate everything and then go from there.
