Welcome to Adventures with Phil v2.0

So what is/was Adventures with Phil and where did "Step it up a notch" come from? Well, I used to do Adventures with Phil e-mail updates to let everyone know about the happenings in my life. If you're wondering, I originally got the name idea from the Red Green show, where there's a segment called Adventures with Bill.
Now, where did "Step it up a notch" come from? Before I go into that, there's something else I want to say. Even though "Step it up a notch" was hilariously funny in its original context, and the 20 or so of us who were there will definitely remember it as such, I am finding it is becoming more than just something I say; it's like a life motto, like the one the Three Musketeers had.
As I think about the words "step it up a notch", what comes to mind is the idea of doing more/going the extra mile, which also brings to mind Jesus' teaching in Matt 5:38-42. For me, applying step it up a notch means going deeper with God, building stronger family relationships and recognizing that I have the ability to reach out to help someone in need, no matter what the need is.
This section is getting too long so please make your way to the sidebar to find the origin of the phrase "step it up a notch".

Wow it's cold!

Definitely been a while since I've experienced cold like this. -31C (-35F) and -42C (-41F) with windchill. I'm glad to have a garage to park my car in; but I'm told it was still -27C (-33F) in the garage this morning. Jason's car didn't start so he didn't make it to work today. Not really anything new but I just had to announce that I had the best lunch today: Vietnemese Sub! YUM! They are so tasty, if you've never tried it, you're missing out. It's very good value, but I think they cost less in Edmonton. There's a Vietnemese sub place directly across the street from the office, I can't believe I didn't see it until Friday of last week! Before coming to Calgary, I was hoping that there would be one close to the office and wouldn't you know, right across the street.

Because of the cold weather I have met some of my neighbours and thought about being in the St John Ambulance

God is GOOD! ALL THE TIME !
