CRAIG, BAUER New Year's Eve is a time to spend with someone special. For this New Year's Eve, we present someone very special- this week's cover man, Craig Bauer. Originally from Detroit, Craig has called Houston his home for the last 10 years. An incurable pet lover, he showers a great deal of affection on his five chows Buko, Beijing, Tigger BamBam, Blitz and Belizar. He also enjoys reading, camping (especially in the Rocky Mountains) and cross-training. Physical fitness is very important to Craig. In fact, he plans to make it his career. He's working on obtaining his degree in sports medicine with an emphasis on holistic treatments. Does Craig look familiar? You may know him as Wolf, a popular member of the Muscles in Action dance troupe. We think an evening with Craig Bauer would be a great way to ring in the new year.
