Consider the various cool terms vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin could have used in describing herself to Republican Party convention delegates Wednesday night:
Moose-hunter.
Political trailblazer.
And the best one: former journalist.
Instead, she settled with obvious pride on "just your average hockey mom." She then adorned that title with a joke on how you tell the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull. "Lipstick," she said to loud laughter in the arena.
What, you might ask, is your average hockey mom? Is there such a thing? Are they any different from soccer moms or Little League moms? Do they really snarl?
Our search ended at the Honda Center, where Rosanna Sitzman is a financial analyst by day for the Anaheim Ducks but the round-the-clock mother of 9-year-old Jack. When we say round-the-clock, we're not kidding. She's been at rinks as early as 5:30 a.m. for Jack's games.
