Back from vacation & entering vacation from the vacation mode, or trying to. (Not Andrew. Andrew is desperate to get back to school. Has been insistently typing "bus" and "school" on his AlphaSmart.)
Don't know whether I've mentioned that I have a thing for templates.
Good templates are few and far between, I find. Yes, there are a gazillion free templates on the web, but most of them look like he**.
That situation has now changed, thanks to Google's new template gallery.
They've got everything:
decent letterhead
personal monthly budget
road trip budget
my wedding checklist
wedding vendor payment list
monthly household budget
recipes
baby feeding diary
lost pet flier

And then there's the stuff for school:
And, most importantly, templates that will enable your child to turn in projects equal in "creativity" to the ones handed in by kids whose mothers own Quark:

I learned yesterday that our middle school Team A teachers give more homework, and that Team B teachers give more projects. What a choice.
My daughter was placed in Team B. These templates might come in handy.
good lord
yeah, they will
did I tell you I know a kid who was thrown out of the running for valedictorian at her high school because her Spanish teacher graded her down on "creativity" on her Spanish menu??
She had straight 100s on every test, but she got an A- in the class, I think it was, because of creativity. There wasn't any instruction in creativity, and I don't recall whether there was a rubric.
By the time they found out what had happened, they'd thrown away the menu so they couldn't protest the grade.
Her high school has grade inflation, so they have as many as 20 kids qualifying for valedictorian -- all of them with averages above a 4.0.
Their class standing, of course, affects their college acceptances at competitive schools.
