First of all, Jo's health is holding steady. The big news is that for the first time in almost 2 years, Jo will only be getting her blood checked once per week instead of a minimum of twice per week Yes, Dr. Alvarez gave her his official blessing to cut back to weekly CBCs. Considering the amount of time a little trip to the Doctor's office actually takes, this is wonderful news for Jo!
Enough of that though. Let's get on to the juicy stuff! Last night Jo's mother, Rita, was informed by somebody in Texas that just recently, this person saw Colin Farrell being interviewed on some late-night talk show program and the host asked Colin about his first job. He mentioned that he learned how to line dance in Ireland from Jo Thompson and then he taught line dancing for about 8 months.
A search on Google revealed the following from March, 27, 2005:
COLIN FARRELL revisited his embarrassing past on comedienne Ellen Degeneres' chat show in America when he had to teach the host and three audience members linedancing moves.
The movie star used to teach country dancing in Ireland when he was a teenager, and Ellen insisted he gave a demonstration.
Embarrassed Farrell told her, "There was a craze for a year when I was 17.
"This bird came in from Texas and taught us all how to linedance and then she went back to Texas and we linedanced and went around Ireland teaching people how to linedance."
The Irishman was left red-faced when he tried to recall his skills.
He said, "This is mortifying... We've had enough. I'm dying here, man."
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Mr. Farrell has achieved significant fame and fortune in his life, but does he know how close he was to one of the most valuable treasures ever found on this earth? Well, Mr. Farrell, enjoy your money and everything that comes with your life in the fast lane, but always remember...you met Jo Thompson first, but I married her!

Tim - you are by far the WINNER! Someone really needs to let Colin (who ever he is) know that he is a "nobody" compared to the GREAT Jo Thompson-Szymanski. Love and Prayers. JAM

Hi Jo & Tim,
Just wanted to say "Hi" and let you both know that I think of you often and you are consistently in our prayers. I must say, it does make me sad that your going through so much, but I know that day will come when you'll be dancing again and all this will be behind you.
