Hi Mr. Cummings,

I had a quick question regarding your website. Is it true that you consider yourself a cat person? I think that's really cool! Also, I am an Angels Fan too! This is our year.

Make sure your Google Form matches up with the correct CNN 10 video. They automatically updated their website in the evening and so your video and questions might not line up. At the beginning of the week, the previous week's google forms will be counted for completion and then deleted. Make sure you have them completed by Sunday night.
