Eagle Architecture

I've been feeling hyperactive since Xmas.. ok fine I'm feeling guilty after consuming to many festive goodies and am trying to work it all off. Most of which I'm blaming on everyone who gave me chocolate! And which has led me to believe that Xmas is not about love and giving but about trying to make everyone else fatter than you! Anyway... I've started going on really long runs interspersed with large amounts of walking. A lot of my walking is spent checking out the different houses in the neighbourhood to distract myself from the chest pains and burning joints. Yesterday I passed this giant house that would put any over indulgent hip-hop star to shame! Especially its remarkable kitschness! And the cherry on top of this bling palace is the stain glass eagle which overlooks the barren front lawn. Apparently this eagle has bankrupted the homeowners because not only can they not afford grass but they cant afford paint either..The whole house is grey with primer except for a glinting eagle soaring from its depths
