This book springs from the imagination. All characters, with the exception of Brett Michaels, and every situation and scenario are fictitious. It is not intended to depict any real person, whether living or deceased. When Brett Michaels is mentioned, it is not the person which is meant but the personality he projects both on stage and on TV. The geography of Western New York has been changed. The quotes from the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid are merely used to express an emotion in an amusing way. In this depiction of an intelligent yet underachieving adult wavering between boredom and the desire for meaning in life, I have attempted to combine the commonplace with the pressing feeling that there must be something more. Danny Gables has just turned thirty years old and he is without direction. He must make a decision but any decision he makes will negate the possibility of the other. Should he commit to what is expected of him, and thus commit to his home-town ways? Or should he meander along and hold out for the possibility that life has more to offer? He spends his time chasing women and frequenting bars, which provide him with the genuine reflections that are lacking in his real life of work and routine. But one day it strikes him to begin an investigation an impractical quest for authenticity that frustrates the people that know him, compromises the tenuous condition of a loved one, and sends him on a path filled with reflections, road trips, too much drinking and general frivolity. Cynical yet droll, rich in sarcasm and brute truism, The Intermittent proves to be a lesson in existentialism.
