Why secondpath?

Sometime in the early-to-mid-90's I decided that I should register my own domain name. I checked out the domain name "secondstory.com" and was very happy to find that it was available.

I liked "secondstory" because my home office was on the second floor, and I kind of liked the idea that I would publish short stories on the web... stories that would only take "just a second" to read.

Unfortunately, I am a procrastinator, so by the time I got around to actually registering the URL it was gone. I recently checked out secondstory.com, and it looks like a wonderful site, so I don't feel too bad.

Disappointed that I couldn't get my first pick, I started looking for a URL close to secondstory.com that I could register. I wanted to find a "clean" URL, one where I could register .com, .net, and .org. Somehow I stumbled on secondpath. Voila!

I think secondpath's availability was actually serendipity at work. I am middle aged and ready to pursue a different path... a second path so-to-speak. If I wanted to get picky, I'm probably on my 3rd or 13th path, but second path suits my needs just fine.
