[21:37] <valorie> I have multiple reasons to visit!
[21:37] <valorie> I have to plan out my calendar for the year
[21:37] <valorie> KDE hanging fire on choosing when and where Akademy will be is cramping my style
 hanging fire?
[21:38] <valorie> I decided not to go to genealogy convention in February so I'm thinking Feb or March
[21:39] <valorie> hang fire
 I may be in CA for Scale in March, not sure though.
[21:39] <valorie> Delay, as in The advertising campaign is hanging fire until they decide how much to spend on it. This expression originally referred to the 17th-century flintlock musket, where the priming powder ignited but often failed to explode the main charge, a result called hanging fire. [c. 1800]
