"Odds & Sods" are those difficult-to-classify items that have appeared on the Colvin mailing list over the years that still deserve an opportunity to be read by site visitors.  They are stories, newspaper articles, etc. that are often odd or funny that allow us to poke fun at ourselves and the all-too-human things that we do.  Sometimes they are serious and give us pause to reflect once again on who we are.  Enjoy!
