Seriously - August?! Um, did I fall asleep like Rip Van Winkle, or something?

I'm starting to collect school supplies for my son's return to high school in a few weeks. Of course, he's a teenager, so I'm SURE that clothes that he had last year, which still fit perfectly well, will be ... well ... sssssooo "last year" and I'll be out a few hundred $$$ shortly in a new wardrobe for him. *sigh*
So, what plans do you have for August? Anything special - or just scrapping those, sometimes forgotten, every day moments?
