Run 2 of the Tevatron began in early 2001 after extensive
upgrades to both the machine and the CDF and D0 detectors.  For CDF, new
tracking detectors, increased muon coverage, state-of-art front end
electronics, pipelined triggering, and a complete overhaul of the DAQ have
made it a very powerful tool to explore physics of all kinds.  The status of
CDF in Run 2 is presented, along with a first glimpse of CDF data.
