Before being a dad I worked in the humane industry. I did PR, social media and various aspects of management for a large animal shelter. During my time there I learned about the value and work of a service dog, as well as, the healing powers that animals provide. On Friday, September 19 at 11 AM, Captain Luis Carlos Montalvan and his service dog Tuesday will be at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta to read their New York Times bestselling book, Tuesday Tucks Me In.

It’s a cross county road trip with an old ice cream truck, three friends, eco conservation, film making and a dash of National Geographic Kids. Three friends, Caleb Kruse, Cameron Kruse and Jordan Fatke purchased an old ice cream truck, retrofitted it to run on vegetable oil and are driving around the county this summer. They’ll be giving away ice cream to children around the county, teaching them about conversation, having them sign a pledge and possibly eat some more ice cream-or maybe that’s me eating some.

Well surprise surprise, I liked Guardians of the Galaxy. OK, that may not be entirely unexpected. What will be surprising to those that watch it is how much they enjoy watching it too.
