The gravitational lens 0957+561 has been monitored by our group for 16 years, using the VLA at 5 GHz. Since our last report in 1992, both images have returned to their quiescent flux levels, and the A image has brightened again. We apply various analysis methods to the light curves, and obtain a preliminary estimate of τ = 455 ± 40 days for the time delay.
