single dose of antibiotics. Everything I know about antibiotics says this is

Ok Tom, my question is "Where did the group come from and how did you end up
as the leader?"  I enjoyed the story and even though it wounds like you had
a great time, the mix of people was VERY interesting.  Not a group that I
would pick!
