Now, see, that wouldn't be my first thought.  I'd first be concerned that by 
knowing I was at Sam Ash or The Guitar Center, Paul would be able to tell 
what I was getting him for Christmas from his wish list.  Or, for instance, 
when you've begged off lunch with a friend by saying you were sick, or had to 
be at the dentist, and then your profile exposes your lie by noting that you 
are at the movies.
