A cool moment

I was talking to my mother this morning, and mentioned that [livejournal.com profile] cattitude and I are considering visiting [livejournal.com profile] jonsinger and [livejournal.com profile] lisajulie later this Spring, and I also mentioned that Jon does pottery, rather more seriously than I ever did. This led to Mom, naturally enough, asking me what Jon does for a living. So I explained that, and added that part of what is so cool about this is that if anyone else I know had a job just being themselves and doing what interests them, probably most of us would be extremely jealous. Since it's Jon, the general reaction is [livejournal.com profile] papersky's observation that it's cool that the universe has room for Jon to have a job being Jon Singer.

My mother also pointed out that Jon's employer, whom I have not yet met, must also be a cool person.
