A call for comments!

Hi everyone (or the very few) reading this blog! Thanks! I am wondering if you can comment on the posts please? I kind of check the "view comments" section a lot and I don't have a single comment yet. It's a little sad. They can be general thoughts or interesting stories (applicable to aunts here) or questions or something I did that was stupid or embarrassing... it doesn't matter at all!

Deploying to Budapest

Our deployment starts in just 2 days! Despite some travel issues (hello, Philly, for an extra 24 hours), I am shortly en route from PHL to BUD. We received our clients and   SOWs about a month ago, at which point we dove into true research and project preparation. My team also had a virtual kickoff 2 weeks ago with our client, where we presented some initial content we developed to refine the overall objectives and scope of the project. I am a little apprehensive about the current scope (we have 3 FT resources for 4 weeks) but during the first week we have the opportunity to further refine the SOW, which I think will be necessary.   Here are some fast facts: Client: Budapest Enterprise Agency (BEA) Client Mission : “… to contribute to the development and expansion of viable, new and existing entrepreneurs based on the market needs, thus contributing to the creation and preservation of workplaces in Budapest and to the facilitation of the economic growth of th...

My Nonno, the Italian word for grandfather, was an immigrant to the US and grew up in the small town of Coltura in the Italian Alps. He immigrated with his brother, Atillio, and they settled in Western PA where they moved around a bit, trying out different jobs and such. Livio Fedrizzi eventually found his home in Pittsburgh and started working at a grocery store/butcher shop, of which he would eventually become part owner. He married my grandmother, Irma Valetti, and they had 5 girls. Nonno was a very hard worker, a really smart guy, extremely kind and, above all, focused on his family. He put his 5 daughters through college and because of him and my grandma we are still all very close. So, when I was a little girl he used to tell me stories and teach me Italian songs, words, phras...

The third leg of the vacation was to Coltura (and other places) to spend time with my nonno's family. Coltura is in the Trentino region and very different, with the Dolomites rising up around you. I love this place! Here are the pics...
