They may know more now, though not much more, and if you knew them for a couple of hours you'd laugh at the assumption, once held, that they are so much brighter than you or your friends. You think of their best moments and compare them to your worst but you glide past the times when they've behaved selfishly or rashly or with a brand of stupidity that must be imported straight and undiluted from wherever it is that stupidity is brewed.
The only real difference is they are where they are and you are where you are and if you want to get to their spot you need to be willing to make the trip and pay the expenses.
Get out your map.
