Showed how to select items and then how to log them. I explained how he could use the Sheets document.

Checked which email address was associated with the spreadsheet.

And then I thought, hey, let's have a look at the web site. Since we're here. Did a quick tour in a browser. Another place for bulletins, links, how-tos, etc. Done. He was happy. I was happy. Launched Evernote and made some quick reminders to myself.
