To the good people of TWoP,

I wanted to thank you all for the many birthday greetings you sent last week (you know who you are)! On such a momentous and terrifying occasion, it is reassuring to receive well-wishes from so many... well, 20 year olds.   

While it it true that I am now 50 years old and while it is also true that it required carbon dating to confirm this, I have to tell you that I still feel like a man in his... well, mid-40s.

My wife threw a wonderful party for me at my manager's home in the Hollywood Hills. The theme was 50s elegance (it wasn't all greasers and bobby socks, you know) and all 120 guests looked fabulous. We had fantastic sponsors and the food was superb.     

Many of my Heroes castmates were there: Hayden Panetierre, Milo Ventimiglia, Masi Oka, Ali Larter, Zach Quinto, Chris Rose, Matt Armstrong and Ashley Crow, and a few of my old Dynasty castmates made it as well: Joan Collins, Pamela Sue Martin, Gordon Thomson, and Pamela Bellwood. I had family in from the East Coast - my sister, two nieces and a nephew. It was quite a soiree.

Now the celebrations are over... and I'm just left with the age.  But the good news is, we'll be back to work before long and back on the air in September. And who knows? Maybe you'll be hearing more from me then.

Until then, take care. And know that sometimes the watchers are being watched.
