Food For Thought: Part Two
International Market Extravaganzas Of the many similar passions that Louis and I share, I think music and ethnic foods are at the top of the list. And just as we not only enjoy listening to music but also performing it – we likewise not only enjoy eating foods from all over the world, but also... »
Our Home, Our Heart, With Love
Imagine sitting across from your best friend talking about the challenges of life. Imagine the feeling of warmth and comfort you find when you realize there is no other person in the world who could bring such joy and peace in such a crazy, mixed up, chaotic world. Imagine a moment in time when... »
Food For Thought: Part One
The LOVE of Amazing Family, Good Food, Fun, and Fellowship I grew up in the mecca of diversity, New York City, and I have a fondness for all sorts of flavors, textures, colors and smells when it comes to food. Food brings families and friends together. Food brings life. Life brings laughter and laughter... »

The Traveling Twosome has been holding a contest in April 2010 – give us any idea you’d like to see us blog about for a future Traveling Twosome post. We have been awarding weekly winners for this contest – the first winner was Aliya Daya from Canada who gave us this suggestion: Travel to... »
Appreciate Love: How To Nurture Your Marriage
What is Love? Love is something to be cherished and measured in moments, counted by minutes of smiles, laughter, sights, sounds and warm embraces. Whether life is rocky or smooth, as long as we have each other then we have a chance to love more today than yesterday and even more tomorrow. Let me begin by... »
Pointless Post Volume 5 – Pointless Video Clips
The great American poet William Carlos Williams once wrote: so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens This poem has always been a favorite of mine. Each time I read it, something different strikes me about the poem. Oftentimes, it is what is implied and not what is written that captures my imagination. Today, I was... »
Char Gives Louis a Much Needed Haircut
What does it look like when I am overdue for a haircut, have had a long and tiring week, and Char decides to give me a head and scalp massage? Well, on this video, you’ll see just what it does look like. Fortunately, her fun at my expense ended with a much needed haircut. So... »
Making a Duct Tape Dress Form Under $20
I’ll admit it. I had no idea what a dress form was, much less a duct tape dress form. But I did know what duct tape was. And when Char asked me to wrap her up in duct tape, well, how could I resist? Seriously, the whole idea screamed “Traveling Twosome Post!” All of... »
If The Traveling Twosome was a Comic Book…
Since the creation of The Traveling Twosome, our site has evolved substantially… from the early days of simple text and pictures all the way through to our multimedia explosion. Along the way, we’ve produced original musical recordings and fake commercials… we’ve put on an arm wrestling competition and driven a car without a key… we’ve... »

My Valentine
Remember elementary school Valentine’s Day parties? Looking for the best Valentine in the box to give to that person in the class on whom you had the secret crush? That best Valentine might not have been anything more than a picture of Snoopy saying “will you be mine?” but you hoped the message got... »
Pointless Post Volume 2: Ice Storm + Hot Tub = Opportunity
Who says adults can’t have snow days, too? When a minor ice storm shut us in this weekend, Char and I used our time wisely: we relaxed and enjoyed each other. Outside… in our swimsuits. One thing interesting about hot tubs – when they are in operation, they contain hot water. The water and steam heat... »
Louis Shows Char his Penny Stunt
When I was a wee little lad, I learned that I had a special talent. I could catch a penny that someone else dropped. Sound easy? Try it, then. I’ve yet to meet someone else who can do it. I didn’t have to practice at this feat – I... »
How to Be Romantic – Part 1 – Fondue Date Nights IN
From time to time, people – strangers, usually – comment about the relationship between Char and I. I remember walking downtown once, hand in hand with Char, and a security guard called out from quite a distance away. “You two… you’ve got something. You’re in love. I mean, it’s the real thing. I’ve been... »
Pants on the Ground – Traveling Twosome Style
To me, the best part of the TV Show “American Idol” is watching the poor performers in the auditions at the beginning of each season. Having been playing out in bands since I was 17 years old, I have a lot of hysterical memories of bad musicians and singers who have come to audition... »
Char Teaches Louis to Trill his Letter R
Hello. My name is Louis Magnifico and I’m a Sicilian who can not trill his letter R. Many Latin languages including Spanish and Italian contain the alveolar trill, a consonant sound informally referred to as the “rolling R.” In these languages, words with a double R such as the Spanish term for dog (perro)... »
Dancing Dalmatian Molly
Char and I have a beautiful fish aquarium in our bedroom with live plants, lots of fish, two frogs, and about a hundred snails. But of all these interesting aquatic creatures, one stands out. A Dalmatian Molly. Or, more appropriately, a Dancing Dalmatian Molly. This fish entertains us for hours as he appears to... »
The Colorado Craftsman Comes to Cordova
Char and I have spent a lot of time and a little money (we’re good like that – finding inexpensive ways to accomplish things) in various projects to make our house our home. While we are handy in many areas (especially Char, who is a crafting genius) there are other things for which we... »
Elvis’ 75th Birthday Celebration
For this post, all video clips are encoded as MP4 files playable in Quicktime, iTunes, VLC, or any browser with Quicktime Support. Have fun watching! Well wouldn’t you know it – on Elvis’ 75th Birthday, it was about 2 degrees outside – perhaps the coldest day in Memphis history. So rather than heading outdoors to... »
On Taunting
If you’ve read The Traveling Twosome blog any length of time, you’ve certainly come across plenty of posts, comments, and videos of Char and I taunting each other. This is especially prevalent in our Competition posts and our comments to them. But our taunting is obviously not just your typical “trash talking” – there... »
