Happy Easter to our readers, listeners and viewers around the world. For our Serenade Radio aficionados, Mark will present a brand new seasonal Song of the Week later today at 5.30pm British Summer Time/ 12.30pm North American Eastern.
Elsewhere in our Easter observances, Mark has a poem for this weekend, as well as some thoughts on the burning of Notre-Dame, Mel Gibson on The Passion of the Christ, and Victor Hugo on the bells of Easter morn.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, here's how the last seven days looked to Mark:
~ On Sunday Steyn's Song of the Week celebrated the new season with "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" by Tommy Wolf and Fran Landesman.
~ Questions surrounding the Massacre in Moscow were the subject of Mark's Monday posting.
~ Mark's Tuesday's Notebook covered everything from the peaceful transfer of power (in Senegal) to Trump's bond, Assange's hearing before the King's Bench and the Princess of Wales.
~ On Wednesday, Mark was back at the microphone, fielding questions on many topics, from RFK Jr's running mate via the Melonification of populist candidates to the lack of muscular Christianity.
~ Laura Rosen Cohen's famous links from around the world returned on Thursday.
~ Rick's Flicks was in New York City on Saturday reviewing 1948 film Naked City.
The hatey-haters at SteynOnline have eschewed celebration of Biden's Trans Day of Visibility in favor of the more traditional type formerly associated with Easter weekend. If you're into the latter, please check out the links at the top.
