When we were little, Nick admitted to Lucy and me that he never washed his body. "I just figure the shampoo kind of drips down," he told us, unphased. Fifteen years later, he has thankfully turned into a bit more of a metrosexual. He likes to use a straight razor, as terrifying as that sounds; and for his birthday, I got him a haircut and shave from
Freemans Sporting Club. I think he'd enjoy these products from
Sharps Barber. P.S. He can also grow a mean beard. Here are four shots of Nick rocking
varying stages of
caveman style.

Hmmm, what other things does Nick love?
Nick loves sailing with SW.
Nick loves Lucy.
Nick loves coffee (or does he?).
Nick loves the ladies.
And Nick loves Nick! Thanks for being this week's theme, little bro; it's fun pretending to be you. You are the best!
But if he changes his mind, he can just flip the doormat.
Amazingly, I had just written this post when Nick commented that trees look like lungs--now this poster seems extra suitable! The print says, "Forests are the lungs of the earth," and all proceeds go to the Rainforest Action Network.
My brother Nick and I now live in New York City, but we grew up in the Michigan suburbs. I thought he might enjoy Amy Bennett's awesome oil paintings of neighborhoods where something doesn't feel quite right.....(These are entitled "Exposure" and "Losing It.")
Although Nick rides motorcycles and belongs to a watch club, he is also a true romantic. I can imagine Nick giving this necklace to his future wife. Linked to a battery by a silver thread, this glowing necklace would surely delight the kind of quirky lovable girl that Nick will betroth.

When we were little, we were spending the summer in Cornwall, so my dad sent Nick a telegram for his birthday. It was so exciting and old-fashioned! Now telegrams have been officially discontinued, but perhaps Nick would like this stationery, inspired by a 1920s British telegram.
