TUESDAY, September 15 at 7 PM: NOT THAT IT MATTERS Concludes

One last evening with Corwyn Allen to enjoy the delightful wit and humor of author A.A. Milne from his 1920 collection of essays and articles : NOT THAT IT MATTERS.

“Almost anyone can be an author; the challenge is to collect money and fame from this state of being.”

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”

“Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.”

“The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.”

~ A.A. Milne

TUESDAY, September 8th at 7 pm: More from NOT THAT IT MATTERS

It seems that there is no subject on which A.A. Milne cannot comment with wry wit and singular humor.  Corwyn continues to read from Milne's 1920 collection of essays and articles, published together under the title NOT THAT IT MATTERS.

"We can't all, and some just don't.  That's all there is to it."

"Remember, you are braver than you believe, you are stronger than you seem, and you are smarter than you think."

TUESDAY, September 1st at 7 PM: A.A. Milne's NOT THAT IT MATTERS

The Quotable A.A. Milne:

Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

You will be better advised to watch what we do instead of what we say.

Bores can be divided into two classes; those who have their own particular subject, and those who do not need a subject.

One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Yet A.A. Milne was more than a quotable quipster and author of beloved children's tales. Join Corwyn Allen as he continues Milne's 1920 collection of essays and articles, NOT THAT IT MATTERS, live in voice.

TUESDAY. August 25th at 7PM: More from NOT THAT IT MATTERS

Corwyn Allen continues with more from the man whose wit and wisdom inspired a beloved "Bear of Very Little Brain" and so much more.

Milne was a noted writer, primarily as a playwright, before the huge success of Pooh overshadowed all his previous work. Milne served in both World Wars, joining the British Army in World War I, and was a captain of the British Home Guard in World War II.

TUESDAY, August 18th at 7pm: A.A. Milne's NOT THAT IT MATTERS

A New Series begins tonight!

A.A. Milne had a delightful sense of humor. Apart from being the creator of Winnie the Pooh he also wrote short, amusing essays that he compiled into a book called Not That It Matters. 

"The simple truth, and everybody knows it really, is that collars squeak for some people and not for others. A squeaky collar round the neck of a man is a comment, not upon the collar, but upon the man. That man is unlucky. Things are against him. Nature may have done all for him that she could, have given him a handsome outside and a noble inside, but the world of inanimate objects is against him."

Join Corwyn Allen tonight as he begins this journey of wit and wisdom, live in voice.
