It's true I was legally VFR "on top"...but I did "confess" to FSS and
ATC that I didn't have anyway down....maybe I should have just sucked
it up and waited for a clearing.

"Sucking it up" like that gets you dead. If you =think= you are in
trouble (in the air), confess (to the controllers) and take advantage of
what assistance is available.
