A bloody blogger

Just paid one of my too-infrequent visits to Steve Urquhart’s blog, and found that the dude used to be a boxer. A sample:

  After the 3 rounds, the judges scored the fight 2-1 for Broadhead. One of the judges put me up for the night. He told me, “You know, I had one round for each of you, going into the third. And the third round was very close. But, in good conscience, I just couldn’t give the fight to someone covered with so much of his own blood.”

I dunno if that was before or after Steve became an attorney. I know it predated Steve’s current tour of duty in the Utah House of Representatives, and founding the excellent Politicopia.

  1. And I just learned that you passed the three-score mark. Happy 60th!

    I hope they are treating you well on the Left Coast and that your VRM project is going better than you had ever hoped.

    The fighting was before I became a lawyer and a politician. (Looking back, it all seems so pastoral). But, it’s probably not the best promotion for my law practice to advertise that my brain has been sloshed repeatedly.

  2. Thanks, Steve.

    As for the Left Coast, we’ve mostly mothballed the dream house we built there and now sleep on air mattresses (quite comfortable, actually) in a second-floor walk-up near Harvard, where I’ve got a fellowship to have fun changing the world.

    As for sloshed brains, I’ve done a bit myself, though not in a ring. 🙂
