jQuery UI Sortable -- How can I cancel the click event on an item that's dragged/sorted?

I have a jQuery UI Sortable list. The sortable items also have a click event attached. Is there a way to prevent the click event from firing after I drag an item?

$().ready( function () { 
 $('#my_sortable').sortable({
   update: function() { console.log('update') },
   delay: 30
 });    

 $('#my_sortable li').click(function () {    
   console.log('click');
 });                        

});
#my_sortable li {
          border: 1px solid black;
          display: block;
          width: 100px;
          height: 100px;    
          background-color: gray;
        }
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

<ul id="my_sortable">                 
  <li id="item_1">A</li>
  <li id="item_2">B</li>
  <li id="item_3">C</li>
</ul>

Easier, use a var to know when the element is being sorted...
