Reaching out after networking?

This may sound really stupid. I went to an invite-only networking event at a great firm and one of the younger associates there really stood out to me, spent about 30 minutes talking with him and what was incredible was how much he loved his job. is it weird if i mention that in a message on LinkedIn? hey it was great speaking with you yada yada...also, it's so cool how much you love your job (not phrased this way obv) or is it kinda silly. thanks :)
